Fall break adventures

For fall break I had the opportunity to travel to the Woodlands, Texas with my best friend. I had never been to this area of Texas and was excited to see what adventures this road trip would bring. The Woodlands are true to their name, the city is filled with trees everywhere! On the Saturday of our mini-vacation we actually got some rain, making the abundant nature look even more lush and beautiful.

One of the best part of the Woodlands is that all over the city are little pockets of serene nature that can make you feel completely secluded from the rest of the world. On that particular rainy day we decided to find one of those perfect little spots and take pictures of all its beauty. After exploring around a bit we stumbled onto a tiny creek completely surrounded by massive trees. We ended up spending over an hour exploring along this little creek that was in the middle of no where yet in the middle of a highly populated town. The water was calm and serene, just waiting for someone to stumble upon its beauty. The small, still water was nothing special, barely even big enough to be significant to anything. But it was its plainness that made it so beautiful to us. Something that ordinary becomes so much more meaningful when so much else is going on in your life. Spending some peace and quiet time by the water relaxing on the glass made our fall break that much more detoxifying for our minds.

This little adventure was a wonderful reminder of the quiet beauty of water. It was like a mini version of the Trinity River, but instead surrounded on all sides with breathtaking nature. There was no civilization in sight, but actually just behind those trees were major roads and large neighborhoods. Exploring along the sides of the creek was so much more fun than I ever thought it would be. Our mini adventure turned into a surprisingly relaxing experience that gave us yet another picturesque view of water.

And yes, when we first stumbled across this creek on our adventure one of our first reactions was, "Oh my gosh water! We can blog about this!". So blessed.
