Walnut Creek

Sparkly still waters.  Perfect for wading.  A bit too cold for swimming.  Just us.



Wandering.



Minnows all around our feet.  Blue heron tracks underwater.  An injured dragonfly floating by.



Looking closely.  A long walk.  The waterfall our goal.



Me: hand in hand with Chloe.  Evan: barefoot, wild, dangerous.



Finally there!  Awed by such splendor.



Paused for a staged photo. 



 Up close.  Freezing!  Fun!


Slippery too!


Walking back.  Shivering.  Slow.  Sweet.



Late for dinner.



Enjoying the journey.



Worth it.

So that's where you were when I came back to visit yesterday afternoon ;-)

The last photo. Heavenly.

Beautiful. Simply beautiful.
I loved every. single. picture.
Your post brought back so many memories from my childhood. Great memories that I treasure. Your children will, too.
