Behind the over looked

Ever wonder what was behind that unimpressive rest stop you just passed by ? No? Didn't think so. Most people don't give them more then a second of thought as they speed by looking for more impressive scenery. I decided to take a chance and see what could be seen from a very unimpressive little rest stop in the Capitan Mountain a few weekends past. And what a reward did the Almighty have for me!
 Hidden away about twenty feet off the beaten path was this beautiful little stream. With Mallards at one end and Raves at the other. This little giver of life watered the fowl that stopped for a rest. At the far end was a beautiful little waterfall, with the most amazingly calming sounds I have ever heard from water, flowed effortlessly into a tranquil stream that wound down to water and give life to more of the mountain side.
What a worth while chance it was to stop and take a peak. I am grateful for that moment and the wonderful photos I was able to obtain as a result.
