My favorite nature place

My favorite nature place is Lake Tahoe...all of it.  Everywhere I turn there's more to love.  The lake itself inspires serenity as water usually does, but being surrounded by the forest while keeping a close proximity to the water always has a calming effect on me.  There's not been a time when I was there visiting that I didn't wish I could live there full time.  Somehow, even the birdsongs are more vibrant and I find myself looking at life differently.
