true beauty

i was in tahoe for work this week and monday night the team (plus me) did a dinner cruise on the lake. as the sun went down behind the mountains and colored the sky a variety of stunning hues - i realized how fortunate i was that i was enjoying this wonderful peaceful evening. i was surrounded by mother nature at her best.
majestic mountains that in a few months (perhaps weeks) will be covered in snow - surrounding a lake that was as peaceful as the setting we were in.
by the time we reached other side of the lake - it was dark and we were in the emerald bay - by this time - it was pitch black dark night. with a few twinkling stars...
and it was on that boat deck - surrounded by true natural beauty and peace - that i realized that for as tough as life can get at times - car break downs, crap days at work, etc - that mother nature's wonder will always be there.

i am fortunate to live in one of the more beautiful places in the country - and i hope i don't take it for granted.

There was snow on Pikes Peak the other day and the aspens are changing colors. It's def a beautiful time of year. You should've headed east from Tahoe ;)
