Little feet go snow shoeing

Snow shoeing along McDonald Creek today. Sunny and crisp while the valley 30 miles west was socked in with gray clouds. We were treated to a dazzling sunny display. Worth the walk and time to go down the road.

My daughter enjoying the ice sculpture in the creek.

Traveling up the road along the North Shore. About a foot of snow welcoming us!

Finally back to the car. Another fun Little Feet Adventure!

Simple....

I was driving home last week when a couple of deer loped across the road and into the adjacent field. The world was  filled with sulky blue-gray, the fields were neutral with the sun toying with hints of golden. It is said by some that if animals stop and look you in the eye they are conveying a message or energy to you . These two deer reached the safety of the field , turned and stood for some time . Of course there is not much traffic here therefore we had a moment. It feels like their message was to see life as simple. Tease it apart and enjoy the sun, the wind and the moment. Eventually this pair jogged off towards the mountains as I eased towards the general direction of home.

Are you giving your spirit a good Journey?

Recently some one asked this question." Are you giving your spirit a good Journey?" What does this involve?
Are you sowing peace and positive thoughts? Or do you invest your energy in fear ? Are you creative with your energy? Or do you waste your day with worry and fretting over things that are beyond our sphere of influence? Sometimes we get too busy with the 'must do' list and forget what our purpose is today. We need to stop in a peaceful space and ask ourselves " What is our mission? Is our spirit at peace? If we are just reacting to life how do we become proactive and exert a positive influence on others who share our space?
How is your spiritual journey today?

Good Monday start

winter is finally setting in , snow scheduled for the next few days

Silent Wednesday ........

 Winter has settled in. Finally . A very mild November and December with mostly rain and temperatures above freezing . We have a bit of snow but nothing like last winter. These are the frequent visitors who cruise the yard hoping the flowers are out and blooming so they can have a snack.

 Early morning sunrise looking at the "V" . This is looking towards Glacier Park which is hidden behind behind the fog this morning .

 Colourful display of pink and peach as the sun rises over the Foothills. Sunrise is always a wonderful spectacle for a few moments lighting the sky with a broad pallet.

11 degrees this morning . Bright and clear with sun. The snow is less this year but with that comes more sunshine. Later on off to the forest service road and a hike with the dogs.

Every Action

Take pleasure in every action no matter how small, how routine, how mundane. Savor the moment. Breathe...
