Taking a moment to survey the landscape

Nicholas Peel picked a clear day to take his 8-year-old twin daughters, Faith and Hope, on a hike in the hills above Valley Boulevard near the end of McCall Boulevard. He captured this photo while the girls were taking a rest on a makeshift bench overlooking the city.

Nicholas is now eligible for the Photo of the Month award in our "Menifee in Pictures" contest.
