Sharing Nature With a Friend

Date: 3/23/09
Place: Woods around my friend’s house
Time: 3:00 pm
Weather: sunny, warm

Today my best friend and I decided to mark a beautiful day with a hike through the woods. We tended to venture between the stream and the path most of the time. We prefer to find our own way through the forest.
From the main path we found a small cliff that seemed to be formed by whoever cut the path because the base of the cliff was the side of the path. We decided to climb it. It was only about 20 feet up but it was pretty vertical and difficult to maneuver. It was almost a race, but we didn’t want to rush too much and fall. It was so much fun. Once we were at the top it seemed to be so much higher up. The view was beautiful. We could see the path, the creek, and we even spotted a deer a ways off.
To share nature with a friend is truly magical. The more people you share it with, the more point of views you can appreciate and the more pairs of eyes you have to see the wonders that the world has to offer.
