Beauty All Around Me

If there has been anything I have noticed here in Colorado it is how beautiful everything is. It is absolutely gorgeous up here! The mountains rise up with a majestic grandeur that is simply breath-taking. Their large imposing rock faces emit such strength and resilience, yet the soft trees and shrubbery that blanket it's sides are inviting and alluring. It's as thought the mountains speak to you, luring you to explore them and all they have to offer. There are trees everywhere here and they are large trees with very full branches that provide a sweet cool shade from the brilliant sun that shines overhead. There are so many different types but many are pine and their sweet scent fill the air. I love to breathe deeply and feel the scent sit in my nose before I exhale. The grass is so green here and it provides the perfect carpeting for the many rolling hills and valleys. The air is crisp and clean and breathing in feels like you are taking in life itself. The sunsets are pretty wonderful as well. It's great to just sit and watch nature! The animals here are plentiful and very friendly. It is not unusual to see a deer or a squirrel sitting across from you on the grass. They seem to be completely at rest. Perhaps that is what I am feeling here, peace. There is certainly a calm and restfulness about this town. The closeness of nature and it's intense beauty helps make this place seem like a haven. I am truly going to enjoy these next few years.
