Another Saturday, Another Hike

Saturday was a beautiful, sunny day so Tim and I headed into the mountains and did a 10.5 km. hike. It was challenging, and we were tired and sore by the time we reached the "finish line" but it was so worth it. We look forward to doing the same route again soon.
Some of these pictures were taken on the hike, some were taken at other spots.



How does this tree manage to survive? I am amazed again and again because there are many like this where we live - growing out of rocks. A great illustration of being grounded in Him and having roots going down deep.
"Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought. Their leaves stay green and they never stop producing fruit". Jeremiah 17:8
