It’s not that we don’t have trees in Phoenix. We do….many different kinds in fact, but in general, they are used as decoration in outdoor malls or lining our streets. To go out and stand in a forest, however, you generally need to get out of Phoenix, which is what I did a couple of weeks ago on a trip to Prescott. While there I visited and hiked the Lynx Lake trail for the first time. The hike itself is a very easy 3.3 mile loop but provides complete immersion in the woods beside the lake and that is where the trees in this shot were found. The cooler temps that day mixed with the surrounding forest definitely reminded me of wooded areas back home in Wisconsin and the silence, aside from meeting the occasional fellow hiker, was a great reprieve from the noise of the city and the chaotic assault of sounds that come with working in the ER.
