The+Boardwalk

Total relaxation. That is my feeling of the great outdoors. One activity I have experienced is walking on the boardwalk. Imagine, you're at Hitchcock Nature Area with your family, walking towards the boardwalk. Along the way, you see tons of people who are happy, excited, and laughing. As you enter the big arch with the word boardwalk on it, you automatically start having fun. The fantastical trees, animals, and other wildlife are mezmorizing. The gleaming sun warms your skin as it's rays beat down on you. It is very comforting to know this powerful daytime star is the centerpoint of all existence, including yourself and the wildlife around you. You are very relaxed. The other animals seem to be relaxed by the sun too. The birds and squirrels bask in the heat, as if trying to get a tan. Even the snakes tilt their head in the direcrion of the rays, to be in the path of the glimmering light. This is my idea of complete heaven. How about you? Do you have a favorite activity in the great outdoors?
