Happy Anniversary

Nine years ago, the stars finally aligned on an unseasonably warm day in Sundance, Wyoming. A gentle breeze carried the scent of wildflowers and sun bathed the morning in a golden glow. Our hearts danced in harmony as we exchanged our vows, promising to share a lifetime of love and adventure. It was a day when everything felt perfect, and as we sealed our commitment with a kiss, it was as if the universe itself celebrated.

Weekend Roundup - R

 This week's assignment, Starts with R, Favorite, and Rain.

Starts with R: RABBIT starts with R. This guy likes to hang around outside the fence, where he knows he's safe from the dogs. 

Favorite: Yay! I found a way to incorporate horses. I love watching RACE horses. I like to bet on grays, but they almost always lose. Good thing I'm not a big gambler. 

This is the backside at REMINGTON Park.

Rain: And this is my favorite RAIN picture. There is a loafing shed a few steps in front of them, but they seemed to be enjoying this warm summer shower.

Skywatch Friday

The Sea of Sunset

This is the land the sunset washes,

These are the banks of the Yellow Sea;

Where it rose, or whither it rushes,

These are the western mystery!

Night after night her purple traffic

Strews the landing with opal bales;

Merchantmen poise upon horizons,

Dip, and vanish with fairy sails.

~ Emily Dickinson

Tuesday Treasures

Flowers that bloom about our feet.

For tender grass, so fresh, so sweet.

For song of bird ...

... and hum of bee.

For all the things fair we see and hear,

Father in heaven, we thank thee! ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Nature Notes

It's October, and the air is cool and fresh, so we took a drive to Chillicothe to look for a park where there's an eagle viewing area and to see the changing leaves. The trees were full of reds, oranges, and yellows. 

Saturday we drove to a small lake in Eureka, the home of Eureka College where President Reagan spent his college years. The water reflects the gray skies. We saw a fisherman and geese floating across the water. One came in for a landing, but I missed the shot with the exception of a splash. Autumn is my favorite time to get out and appreciate nature.
