Looking Up

Cheria and I recently visited the beautiful
Backbone Rock
National Recreation Area near
Damascus, Virginia,
a place we visit fairly often. It's hard to believe that a place as
full of unspoiled natural beauty as Backbone Rock could exist a mere
three miles from town! We spent quite some time walking around,
enjoying the beautiful, rugged scenery and taking a few pictures.
We're always looking for pretty, interesting and/or unusual things
to photograph, and between the two of us we took several hundred
pictures of Beaver Dam Creek, the
Mountain Laurel blossoms that dominated the landscape, a few
large boulders, a couple of colorful mushrooms, and several other
things that we encountered during our hike...in other words, the
same things visitors always photograph at Backbone Rock.
After a fun couple of hours spent enjoying some of God's most
spectacular creations, we began making our way back to the car. As
we approached the parking lot, I just happened to look up and see
the prettiest sight I had seen all afternoon - a magnificent blue
sky filled with big, fluffy clouds that seemed to drift among the
treetops. I squinted through the viewfinder and snapped today's
picture, an image of the true peace and serenity that can only be
found in the Creator, not His creations.
