"May the Road Rise Up To Meet You..."
AN IRISH BLESSING
May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rain fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
This blessing has always been a favorite of mine, and I thought it went well with this shot of the lovely Santa Ana Mountains and Foothills in Spring. My husband and I recently hiked these foothills near our home as it was nearing sunset. These hills are part of a short peninsular mountain range along the coast of Southern California. They extend approximately 61 miles southeast of the Los Angeles Basin largely along the border between Orange and Riverside counties.
The hills were beautifully green from the recent rains and alive with Wild Mustard, Lupine, Indian Paintbrush and a variety of other lovely wildflowers. There is a pond on the left which is a little hard to see in this shot, but is where we took our daughters when they were young to collect tadpoles in hopes of seeing them turn into frogs! :-)
