Beauty Along The Way

Beauty Along The Way
It is so grand to find beauty while hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park. Our destination was Black Lake, a strenuous 10 mile round trip excursion gaining 1,430’ in elevation and had it not been for my stubbornness to continue when my old bones wanted to stop and turn around I would have missed this glorious scene. Nature did her best to reward my tenacity to finish what I started.Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Thank you both Monnie and Bojan. I had to reduce the size and was so hoping that it wouldn't lose too much; can tell there is a bit lost but still gives the viewer some of RNMP's splendor.
