A HIKE UP TUMBLING RUN WITH APHIA AND MICHAEL

May 20, 2009

 

 

THE NATURAL WORLD BRINGS OUT THE BEST IN EVERYONE

 

Michael and Aphia make a point of finding time to get out and hike.   They are a beautiful couple.  Click on their photo to see a larger file.  Bob and Camille love that nature thing, too.

 

TUMBLING RUN

 

What an appropriate name for this hiking spot!  Aphia told us that she has hiked here with many of her uncles (Camille's brothers) but this was the first time Camille had ever been here.

 

WATER SPRITES

   

 

Between the negative ions from all the running water and the endorphins from the exercise, we were soon feeling young, playful and refreshed.

 

HEADER TEXT

   

Lucky us to have such a fun couple to play with!  Aphia showed us her 'elephant.' Before we knew it, we were nearly at the top.

 

 

TOP OF THE ROCK

 

As promised, the view was worth the exertion.  We took a nice rest and headed back down the run.

 

MAKING A SPLASH, CATCHING A DRIP

 

Michael lifted an enormous rock out of the stream, staggered to shore with it and threw it back just to make a splash.  Back at home, their cat sat in the sink and drank water from her paw, one drip at a time.

 

CATCHING SOME RAYS

 

Their cat got wound up in the reflection from Camille's wine glass.  Cats are eternally amusing creatures. 

 

LAST YEAR'S HIKE, ECT.

   

Last year we hiked around the Gettysburg killing fields with Brother Joe and then drank some wine and went out to dinner. Aphia took these photos.  Click on the group photo for a closer look.
