Back to Beauty

Tweet

Sorry, but the news just annoys me. So, I took a drive. In addition to gas for about 45c a gallon cheaper than it was in Louisville, I got to see some late autumn beauty. I had mentioned earlier this year about going to Saunders Springs Nature Preserve in Radcliff, Kentucky, near the Fort Knox Army post. I went back there for some peace and quiet. And, of course, some beauty. I was not disappointed. Thanks to some windy weather a lot of the foliage was gone, but that didn't stop things from still being great. I took the shortcut to the High Reservoir (nudge nudge, wink wink) and enjoyed the scenery as I walked around it. From there, I walked back to the parking lot on a path that is very close to the boundary line for the army base (as in, you could reach out and touch the sign that said "Warning: U.S. Government Property" without leaving the trail). Along the way I noticed a ledge that had a little bit of water dripping over it. I hadn't seen it previously, because I hadn't walked that particular trail. I was excited, though, because I knew that would be some gorgeous viewing after a rainfall!! The trip worked like a charm. I came home and took a nice, peaceful nap.
