I’m always looking for unique cacti pieces. This one was perfect-  heart shaped! Always looking for the beauty in things. Nature is beauty.

Inks Lake was such a beautiful park. Filled with families hiking trails, camping at one their many sites, fishing, kayaking and other water activities. During this trip, I visited Devil’s Waterhole and hiked two of the easy trails- Devils Waterhole Nature Trail (.2 mi) and the Valley Spring Creek Trail (.9 mi). Figured that was a good intro to hiking. Hiking has definitely become an interest after visiting this park.  I am always looking for beautiful park. What’s your favorite park?
