08/28/2013 - Hike at Brainard
The day may not have been "nice" nor the weather "perfect." It was rainy, dark, the trail slippery, muddy, skies overcast, the forests shadowed. Yet, it all encompassed its own beauty...beauty in the darkness and in the shadows.
It is a necessity for things to be balanced in nature. While extremes are tolerable for a time, balance is eventually necessary, it helps all life thrive, not just survive. The same can be said of us. Nature has to be dark and destructive at times in order to exist. As such, we have to get through the dark days to enjoy the bright ones...both of which are magnificent in their own unique ways.
Below are some images from the hike that I thought captured the beauty of the day

Wonderful, Shonna!
