So this summer has already been quiet the adventure! We've had one thing after another (funerals, weddings, family moving & shuffling, reunions, etc) To help break up all the stress this last weekend I've been able to kick back and totally lavish away the hours, doing next to nothing! Most energizing! So to commemorate such occasions, I've put together a collection of pictures I've taken with my cell's camera (Samsung Omnia II). (Which I completely love btw ;-)
Ah, Good Ol' Bear Lake. This relaxing and scenic lake is quiet the place to set up and just let go of everything . . . some fun facts about "The Caribbean of the Rockies" : Bear Lake's deepest point measured is 200 ft below the surface,
The unique colors of the lake (ranging from deep navy blue to light turquoise green) come from lime deposits deep in the lake,
This is one of the few lakes of the entire world that is home to the Cisco Fish. You can catch all you want during the Cisco Run, (middle-end of January) these sardine sized fish are great for deep frying or as bait.
This is above Bennington, a really small town in Bear Lake Valley. I went for a walk around the dirt roads and found that more often than not when life gets to be too much, a quiet place in Nature can alleviate most troubles.
With escapes like these, you really have a chance to just breath deep. Breath is so important to everything, but more than often we take too many short breaths and rush through the day. Nature, it seems, has a way of silencing the noise, quieting the mind, and through deep, methodical breaths, recharge and rejuvenate the entire system. What do you do to re-energize?
