      Thank you, Kim! And it gets even better (and worse). We were at 5200 feet, so there was still snow on the ground, although it was in the upper 70’s. Also, we saw a bald eagle flying over the lake! However, since there was hardly any wind, the mosquitoes ate us alive while we were trying to enjoy the lake’s beautiful tranquility. Some ironies never escape us 😉 Minus the countless bug bites, we had a wonderful time!
      Cheers,
      Tyler 🙂

      This is Vivian Lake which is situated at 5200 feet near Diamond Peak outside of Oakridge, Oregon. It is such a tranquil setting, aside from the countless annoying mosquitoes, the lake supports creatures like Goldeneye ducks, Bald eagles and Pacific Tree Frogs and their tadpoles. Have you ever been to Oregon before? I’ve lived in this state for over 5 years and have fallen in love with its endless beauty. Hope you have a wonderful day, my friend!
      Cheers,
      Tyler 🙂

    Just as plants reflect their image in the clear water of the lake, the verses are mirrored in your soul.
