Treasure Trees

       
       Driving from Portland to Spokane this past weekend was gorgeous. The sunset through the gorge was breathtaking. Just when the sun was dropping below the horizon, we sped passed a massive grouping of trees planted in perfect rows. As the setting sun hit the colorful fall leaves, we gazed out the window in awe, wishing to pull over and enjoy the sight a little longer. Unfortunately we had a few more hours of travel ahead of us and needed to press on...
       On the way home however, we impulsively decided to pull off the freeway and explore the massive tree farm. We ended up spending almost two hours walking through the endless rows, stopping to take photos every chance we got. 
       I am grateful for this experience because it taught me to live in the moment. During this adventure, I wasn't worried about the homework I hadn't yet completed or caught up with anything on my phone. I was present and I enjoyed every minuet we spent trekking through the endless rows of trees.
