Hiking Through an Exuberant Festival

 

Sunday's hike through Professor Creek Canyon felt like traveling through an exuberant festival. The music of the stream echoing from the cliffs, the vivid orange, pink and purple hues of the canyon walls reflecting late-day sun, the fluorescent green of the newly leafed-out vegetation, the singing of the water ouzel always just ahead, as though leading us through the canyon! What more could one ask for?
