Mountain Path

When I hike in Colorado, I start early in the morning when the skies are blue and there is no wind. The birds are in full harmony with their songs, and a lot of wildlife is evident. As early afternoon approaches, clouds begin to form over the mountains sometimes bringing rain. This change in the weather can be heard in the music when it switches to a minor melody. However, the inclement weather rapidly changes back to what it was in the morning, leaving the air freshened and the smell of rain in the forest.
