Renewing with Nature

There's something about being by the water, hearing the gulls, watching the waves curl into shore, feeling the spray on the breeze. 













I've really, really missed this over the last two years. We live land-locked, and we usually would take two to three trips to ocean or lake to reconnect with the shore. 

Last week we finally had a chance to do so again, heading to our favorite peninsula, Door County, where we can go bayside to lakeside as the wind or whim takes us. Here's a few highlights.

On the Lake Michigan side are the caves carved into the bluff by constant wave action. Trees hang onto the edge by tenacious and gnarly root systems.

One of the amazing new sights was this ramp through the treetops to a cliff-top tower overlooking Green Bay. It's a replacement for a deteriorating 75 foot tower with only stairs. Folks in the area fund-raised for two years to build this new, amazing and accessible structure so that all visitors can enjoy the fabulous view.

There's nothing like a healthy dose of nature to put right one's perspective on the world. I hope you get a chance to "get out in the 'out there'."
