March at High Altitude


 I'm an early riser.


Often, I watch the moon set as the sun rises.


Weather permitting, I take a morning walk on the county road near my house.
It's an unpaved road, plowed in winter, and it doesn't get much traffic.


It provides distant views of Bald Mountain.


A couple weeks ago, I started noticing mountain lion tracks.
I'm always alert when outdoors, but the tracks gave me a little surge of adrenalin.
Lions prowl mostly from dusk to dawn, and it would be unusual to encounter one midday.
I'm still seeing tracks but so far no lion!


A large tree just off our property blew part way down this winter and is now supported by a nearby tree.
I check every morning to see if it has finally crashed to the ground.
So far, it's still standing, with the smaller tree holding it upright.


Sometimes, at dawn, the sky offers a brief, breathtaking display.

Remember: there is always One Good Thing!


I hope you're well.
Thank you for visiting.

Winter Landscapes

We're in the midst of winter in Breckenridge, CO.

Red Mountain and blue shadows

After a slow start, we're finally getting some reliable snow storms.


Winter light is always special.


Though my world is white for many months, sky and sun and clouds add color.


As usual, I'm mesmerized by winter's beauty.

 Bob and I were sick with the flu in the beginning of February.
At nearly 80, I don't recover as quickly as I did 5 years ago.
Friends brought flowers and food.

However, I'm happy to be out and about once again.
The fresh air and scenery do wonders for my health and well-being.

Thank you for visiting.
I hope you enjoy the winter scenes.

Winter light is my one good thing today.
May love and peace abide with you.
