Hiking in the pine forest in the afternoon always gives me a peaceful feeling and washes away the troubles of the day. Even when I don’t see wildlife or flowers, like on this particular trip, it’s never a wasted afternoon. Just the beauty of the surroundings and the lack of human noise makes it a worthwhile pursuit. This image kind of helps to sum up the feelings that I get when I go out in the woods. It’s beautiful, colorful, and peaceful. I hope it makes you feel the same way!
