“There is scarcely any writer who
has not celebrated the happiness of rural privacy, and delighted himself and
his reader with the melody of birds, the whisper of groves, and the murmur of
rivulets.” ~Samuel Johnson
Yesterday,
as I read author Helen Hollick’s blog about the peace and quiet of the
countryside near her home in Devon, England –

– I was reminded that I needed to post a few shots I'd been saving from a trek to the Colorado high
country. While markedly different from
the serenity of her English scenes, the Colorado landscape displays what each
writer knows: Wherever nature is
involved, "Writer’s Moments" abound.
Spending time with nature restores almost any writer’s enthusiasm.
As Charles Dickens once wrote, “It is not easy to walk alone in the
country without musing on something.”
Happy trails, wherever they may lead.
