Standing upon this bluff I gaze out over the river and feel one with nature. Sun rays beam down on me while the wind gently blows keeping me cool and comfortable. Gazing down the edge of this 300 ft. bluff suddenly fills my stomache with butterflies, but is quickly replaced by the soothing sounds of the morning birds singing. This is the widest part of the Mississippi River and seems to look more like a monstorous lake than any sort of river. Lillipads cover the edges of the river providing quiet hiding spots for creatures. Nature hows now drawn all my senses into a transe but is then rudely interuppted by friend honking the car yelling it's time to leave. Im snapped back to reality and leave my post but will return someday soon.
