Seeing with New Eyes

Yesterday morning as I was walking toward the lake I stopped suddenly with a “Whoa… Cool!” The beauty of the morning mist hovering over the lake stopped me in my tracks. This is not an everyday occurrence, but it is also not that rare. It does leave me in awe every time I see it however.Continue reading “Seeing with New Eyes”

The Hand of God

Last week Bob and I were sitting on a bench by the lake at sunset as we often do. That night the sunset was complex, changing and very interesting as Mother Earth went through various forms, shapes, colors and cloud formations. I took several versions of the photo above focusing on a gold outline withinContinue reading “The Hand of God”

The Morning Walk

Our first summer here I was very diligent about getting up for sunrise. Last year, not so much.

Close Encounter of the Wildlife Kind

We live across the road from a lake/nature area that is one of our favorite places to walk. We do see wildlife there, like the turkeys that took over the road last week. But this kind of up close and personal wildlife sighting is unusual. This time I had the camera which is unusual. When we firstContinue reading “Close Encounter of the Wildlife Kind”

Celebrate Take a Walk in the Park Day

I am known for my daily walks. I will walk anywhere, anytime, but my favorite walk is in a park in the early morning. I agree with Thoreau, “An early-morning walk is a blessing for the whole day.” The world is still quiet and you can be alone with your thoughts or enjoy the silence.Continue reading “Celebrate Take a Walk in the Park Day”
