A couple of hours out here always elevates my mood. If I have the Blues, this space chases them away. If I arrive in a good mood, I leave thinking that something spectacular is going to happen to me later in the day. 2/2

Scenes from this morning’s misty walk near the Percy Priest Dam. I hear Sarah Vaughan singing…
“Walk my way and a thousand violins began to play…”
