Being One With Nature

In the summer of 2007, I participated in a hike in the Strathcona region of Vancouver Island. The hike itself was a struggle. It was four hours of climbing rock upwards. However, as soon as the rock face came to an end, the breathtaking British Columbia snow-capped mountains were in view. There was a plethora of beautiful botany surrounding us. The air was fresh and clean. Not only did we get to see the picturesque mountain views, but we got to bathe in the glacier lake, nestled right in between the rolling hills. The exfoliation of the icy water was truly a freeing experience. The moisture seeped into my skin and left me feeling refreshed.
