Today was a wonderful day to hike. At certain point, I could smell the ocean breeze that makes its way through the mountains. It was cool but the sun was warm. The air was filled with sage and wildflowers, there’s nothing like it. It’s a perfume that no one could ever create but Mother Nature. The stunning arrangements of wildflowers is also another aspect that no human could compare to the magnificence of colors and earth she cultivates.
