The misty morning was greeted by the warming sunrise though green canopies of trees.
Grasping a breath of the fresh air, she crawled from the tent out into the campsite, and marveled at the beauty around her. She then ambled over to the camp stove to fire up for coffee, and mused over the remaining embers of the fire previously. The pot juggled anxiously with boiling bubbles, upon which she proceeded to make the coffee.
Her husband, with a third sense of coffee readiness poked his head out from the tent and grinned at her. She grinned back while handing him a hot cup suited to his taste. He sipped his coffee and she looked at him with loving eyes thinking it might be nice to go back inside the tent for some tender morning loving. Instead she just gave him a big kiss knowing later she'll have her opportunity.
Neither one of them with a big appetite for breakfast right away, decided they would embark upon a morning hike along a nearby river. With the camp secured, off they went on a small beaten trail.
Discoveries of animal tracks noted along the pathway were rewarded with small glimpses of creatures along the way. Both of them very happy absorbing the environment around them and were feeling a sense of freedom.
Upon hearing the first babbling of the river, steps were quickened to reach the liquid destination. The tree branches seemed to open up to guide them as the path had narrowed some.
The bend took them directly to the water's edge, where gasps of joy was exhaled from both of them. Surely a nature's artist designed a perfect scene for them! Waterfalls, small and large were evident framed with boughs of green. The smooth river rocks were covered in moss under the clear water. The music it sang was enchanting.
In exalted happiness, the packs were tossed along the shore and clothes were flying off with plenty of laughter of joy.
