2020 11-26, 4780 - A SIMPLE HEARTFELT THANKS – Today, Thanksgiving Day, I am reminded of the hard winters the pilgrims experienced when they first came to this country, and they found a way to say thanks. In this year of the pandemic I am thankful for all of those that are helping us make it through.
​

A Simple Heartfelt Thanks

Wisdom in the Tree

 2020 11-25, 4779 - WISDOM IN THE TREE – Recently I saw a blur of movement as I drove the old road. I paused, rolled down the window of the truck, and saw a barred owl perched on the limb of a tree. I thought how the wise tree was host to the wise owl. Nature has a lot to teach us.

2020 11-24, 4778 - NOVEMBER ROSE – A flash of color caught my eye as we walked along the edge of the ocean in Rockport, Maine. It was a rose still blooming in late November. I thought of the splashes of color I often find in drab landscapes and realized there are human roses dotting the landscape of life.
​

November Rose

Family Forest

2020 11-23, 4777 - FAMILY FOREST – We take a lot of pride in our new sign that identifies the land as a family forest. One of our greatest joys is to share our hiking trails and beautiful views with those looking to find a peaceful place to reflect and connect to the energy of Nature.
​

2020 11-22, 4776 - NOVEMBER LANDSCAPE – The skies of November look foreboding as if it could snow at any time, but the temperature is setting record highs. I wonder how the winter will be this year and if the rest of the season will be warmer. The earth seems to be changing even though I am enjoying the warmth.
​

November Landscape

Ledge by Day, Opening by Night

2020 11-21, 4775 - LEDGE BY DAY, OPENING AT NIGHT – The ledge across the valley presents a mystery connected to its nightly existence of perhaps being a bridge to the underworld celebrated by ancient shamans who guided souls to a place where they could enter and leave the earth plane.
​

2020 11-20, 4774 - A LOT OF CHEWING – Recently we cleaned out the storage shed that we acquired a couple of years ago; it was still full of the previous owner’s contents. We discovered an infestation of carpenter ants that had chewed through wooden boxes. Nature is fast to reclaim what is left alone.
​

A Lot of Chewing

Candle Power

2020 11-19, 4773 - CANDLE POWER – There is a small plant that this time of years looks as if it has candles decorating its top. I understand they used to be tall trees thousands of years ago that have adapted to climate changes. Some people can adapt where others falter. Maybe success is inner candle power.
​

2020 11-18, 4772 - STONE PILLARS – The stone pillars that used to hold the gates of the graveyard on the property fell into disrepair many years before we purchased it. They now rest where they fell, waiting to stand proudly again. They will.
​

Stone Pillars

A Stash of Cones

2020 11-17, 4771 - A STASH OF CONES – While wandering off the trail through the woods, I discovered a large stash of cones at the base of an old log. I smiled as I thought about the wildlife hunkering down for the winter like all the people who have been stashing away toilet paper due to the pandemic.
​

2020 11-16, 4770 - A REALLY BIG HEART – I am always on the look for heart shapes, whether made by nature or by man. I have walked by this boulder many times, but when I approached it from a different angle, I saw a heart. Different angles in life can give us different insights.
​

A Really Big Heart

Green Log

2020 11-15, 4769 - GREEN LOG – This time of year, when the landscape on the trails is a bleak brown and gray, a green moss covered log stands out in the sunshine. It draws me to pause and observe closer before moving on.
​

2020 11-14, 4768 - PAST ITS PRIME – The old pine which is still standing after many years of battling the elements, appears to be past its prime. I can only imagine the stories it could tell. There are many people past their prime who still have wisdoms to share with those who will listen.
​

Past Its Prime

Full of Gems

2020 11-13, 4767 - FULL OF GEMS – I saw a rock which contained quartz and mica sparkling in the sun. I thought of the quartz arrowhead my grandson found on the property and all the polished quartz used to make jewelry. Then I thought of all the people who are full of gems of wisdom.
​

2020 11-12, 4766 - BOUNDARY MARKER – Recently while walking through the woods, we spotted a standing stone that looked out of place. On further investigation we found blaze marks on some nearby trees that marked a boundary line. We have many boundaries in life that are good to mark.
​

Boundary Marker

Remnants

2020 11-11, 4765 - REMNANTS – My wife uses quilt remnants to make face masks to wear during the pandemic. In the woods we have a lot of 200-year-old stone remnants from quarrying. In life we have a lot of remnants, unused abilities that we may find a use for if we remember we have them.

2020 11-10, 4764 - FLURRIES – This time of year when the temperature is below freezing, I can see the snow flurries drifting across the valley. I am reminded of the snow globes that, when shaken, the scene inside is blurred until the “snow” settles. That is a good lesson for life when we have a snow flurry in our mind.
​

Flurries

Journey Through the Tunnel

2020 11-09, 4763 - JOURNEY THROUGH THE TUNNEL – There are many tunnels on the mountain, all places where my mind can journey to magical places out in the Cosmos filled with dreams and guidance. When I come back to the world around me, I am refreshed and ready for the next step in my soul’s journey.
​

2020 11-08, 4762 - DIVIDING LINE – I could see a line in the woods where the sun and shade came together; the snow had melted and still was on the ground. Nature reminded me that even where we feel divided, we are much closer to blending than we may realize.
​

Dividing Line

A Decorated Stump

2020 11-07, 4761 - A DECORATED STUMP – As the seasons duel each other for control of the weather we experience days of cold and snow and days of abnormal warmth. During this time I focus on the smaller joys of Nature such as a snow decorated stump. There is so much beauty to experience in life.
​

2020 11-06, 4760 - LOST IN THE LEAVES – The brook has disappeared again. There is still a trickle running under a blanket of leaves. At the same time there is a lot to discover now that the leaves have dropped. Nature gives us a lesson for life as we often lose our dreams when they are covered by life. They are still there.
​

Lost in the Leaves

I Wonder Who Is Living In There

2020 11-05, 4759 - I WONDER WHO IS LIVING IN THERE – Every time I pass by a hollow tree or log, I wonder who may be living inside. It could be a bird, or an animal that has made a den. I am not about to peek inside. I do love the mysteries that Nature creates.
​

2020 11-04, 4758 - I CAN SEE THE GLOW AGAIN – Now that the leaves are off the trees in front of our big window I can see the alpine glow again reflecting on the mountains across the valley. Just as the glow each of us has inside, sometimes it seems as if it has disappeared until rediscovered.
​
​

I Can See the Glow Again

The Majestic Whites

2020 11-03, 4757 - THE MAJESTIC WHITES – The first time I saw them was over fifty years ago as we crested Wakefield Hill on the way for a teaching job interview. They took my breath away. I still get the same feeling as I approach the Lupine Field from the orchard and I know we are home again.
​

2020 11-02, 4756 - SETTING THE TABLE- The trees carefully arranged their leaves on the stone table providing a delicious feast for the North Wind, and it didn’t take long to gobble them up spreading what was left on the ground. All of Nature is celebrating this beautiful time of year. So am I.
​

Setting the Table

The Heart of the Mountain

2020 11-01, 4755 - THE HEART OF THE MOUNTAIN – I looked at a photo I had just taken of Mount Chocorua covered with a fresh coat of snow in the late afternoon. There in the shadows I saw a heart shape as well as the outline of a canine. I realized I was looking into the soul of the mountain.
​

2020 10-31, 4754 - BEAUTY IN THE STORM – The first snow storm of the season created a magical landscape as I wandered through the orchard and over to the Lupine Field. Holding the peaceful feeling in my mind with gratitude gives me the opportunity to have the experience again.
​

Beauty in the Storm

And So It Begins Again

2020 10-30, 4753 - AND SO IT BEGINS AGAIN – And so winter begins showing its snowy face, coating the evergreens with a fresh coat of white, contrasted by the rusty oak leaves. The scene was peaceful, as the sounds of the world were silenced in the softness of the moment. The brief interlude was welcome.
​

2020 10-29, 4752 - UNIQUE ROCK – There are many unique rocks on the property. Some are shaped like hearts or have faces, and one is the outline of the state of New Hampshire. Many have quartz in them and many have crystals. Also, there are a lot of unique people on earth.
​

Unique Rock

Honoring the Settlers

2020 10-28, 4751 - HONORING THE SETTLERS – We have wanted to restore the old graveyard on the land for a long time. Every year or so we cut the new growth and now are beginning to consider how to restore this long neglected place where the Daniel Jackson family is buried. We honor their lives.
​

2020 10-27, 4750 - FALL ACCENTS – I love to see the decorations that people place outside their homes this time of year. Pumpkins, hay bales, corn stocks, Halloween inflatables, and fall wreaths create beautiful accents to the season. Nature is also doing its part.
​

Fall Accents

Building a Stone Wall

2020 10-26, 4749 - BUILDING A STONE WALL – We do not have a shortage of rocks on the land. In fact there are many stone walls built two hundred years ago. My wife wanted to outline the flower garden we inherited by the Cabin and so over a week we moved a lot of rocks…Yankee ingenuity.
​

2020 10-25, 4748 - NEXT YEAR’S FIREWOOD – A few years ago I thought I was all done cutting up firewood, but with the cabin and a small wood end heater, I am now gathering a wood pile. There is something about the smell of wood smoke that takes me back in time; it is nice to discover it again.
​

Next Year's Firewood

Beautiful-Bleak

2020 10-24, 4747 – BEAUTIFUL-BLEAK – It is interesting how we combine words (such as “wicked-good”) that mean the opposite to describe situations. To me the beauty of a bleak mid-fall landscape on a misty moist day is the opportunity to tune into the positive loving guidance of the Cosmos. 
​

2020 10-23, 4746 - PICKING OUT NEXT YEAR’S HOUSING – As I approached the Lupine Field I spotted a bird sitting on one of the birdhouses. Looking through my long distance camera lens I realized it was a Bluebird. I read someplace they pick out next year’s nest in the fall. I sure hope so.
​

Picking Out Next Year's Housing

Red Leaves and Ferns

2020 10-22, 4745 - RED LEAVES AND FERNS – Nature has provided many little beautiful scenes this fall for me to observe as I walk the land. It is these components that combined together, make up the landscape of Nature. Each person, when combined with others, makes up the landscape of life.
​

2020 10-21, 4744 - LEAVES THROUGH THE WINDOW – I love to observe the leaves through our large window all year long, from the early buds in the spring to the last one to drop in the fall. This time of year they are especially mesmerizing, and I am grateful for the opportunity to be the observer.
​

Leaves Through the Window

Sunlight and Leaves

2020 10-20, 4743 - SUNLIGHT AND LEAVES – It seems as though this year more than ever I have been aware of how sunlight can enhance different views of Nature. Leaves that are still hanging on the trees when seen through sunlight create a beautiful image. Life gives us a chance to see it from different angles.
​

2020 10-19, 4742 - THE RETURN OF THE BROOK – The brook has returned after the recent soaking rains. Hopefully many of the wells in the area that had dried up are also replenished. We all experience creative droughts from time to time. It is always good to have something in our minds to bring the flow back.
​

The Return of the Brook

Crackled

2020 10-18, 4741 - CRACKLED – The tree with its ugly crackled bark reminded me of a type of antique glass with an applied finish that over time became crackled. That reminded me of people that over time show the effects of life’s wear on their bodies. They may appear crackled, but inside their core is still clear.
​

2020 10-17, 4740 - HANGING ON – The red maple tree close to the orchard hangs onto its colors longer than the trees close to it. We are greeted with a beautiful red hue as we approach the cabin. People have the opportunity to experience the hanging on feeling long after a positive experience.
​

Hanging On

A Hollow Log

2020 10-16, 4739 - A HOLLOW LOG – There is something about a hollow log that provides the mind endless opportunities to journey beyond the restrictions of daily normal life and out into the limitless bounds of the Cosmos. There one is free to examine life from a different perspective.
​

2020 10-15, 4738 - FADING COLORS – The foothills are now past their peak colors as the leaves are fading and dropping from the trees. To me the landscape takes on the appearance of a different time period, perhaps as it may have been a couple of hundred years ago. The clues are still there.
​

Fading Colors

First Fire of the Season

2020 10-14, 4737 - THE FIRST FIRE OF THE SEASON – There are many rituals to celebrate the fall season wherever you live: the first apple crisp, the choosing and carving of a pumpkin, and the first fire in the woodstove. Rituals, large and small, help us celebrate and create special memories.

​2020 10-13, 4736 - THE UPS AND DOWNS OF MOVING A SHED – It was time to move the small shed out of the way of an upcoming logging operation to a place close to the Cabin. Fortunately, our neighbors stopped by to help. As we almost had it moved, the shed fell on its side. Amazingly it survived and so did we.

The Ups an Downs of Moving a Shed

Delicate Balance

2020 10-12, 4735 - DELICATE BALANCE – In a recent rain and wind storm a large dead tree broke apart and fell over, leaving a large section delicately balanced high up in the trees. It will probably come down this winter, but right now it is a reminder to keep watch above as I walk the trails. 
​

2020 10-11, 4734 - AUTUMN ART – People from all over the world come to the White Mountains in the fall in an attempt to capture the autumn art created by Nature. As a daily observer of Nature all throughout the year, my goal is to always be on the lookout for the small arrangements often passed by.
​

Autumn Art

Snow on the High Mountains

2020 10-10, 4733 - SNOW ON THE HIGH MOUNTAINS – Snow has arrived on the high mountains and is clearly visible hear in the foothills. It is a time to prepare for the season ahead. It is also a time to incubate your ideas for birth next spring and summer.
​

2020 10-09, 4732 - FEATHER AND FLOWERS – The afternoon sun shining on and through a feather resting on a wildflower caught my attention. I paused and took a photo of this creation of Nature to help me recall the joy I felt at that moment in time.
​

Feather and Flowers

A Rare Capture

2020 10-08, 4731 - A RARE CAPTURE – Looking at the photos from the game cameras throughout the property is an adventure in itself. Recently, we saw pictures that captured a pair of fisher cats in the road to the Orchard. That is a first for me and I am grateful for what Nature reveals to us.
​

2020 10-07, 4730 - BEAUTIFUL CREATURE – A small moth marked like a butterfly caught my eye as it rested on a rock, feeling the warmth of the October sun. It was a beautiful creature and one easily missed. It reminded me of beautiful people walking the earth that many never see.
​

Beautiful Creature

​2020 10-13, 4736 - THE UPS AND DOWNS OF MOVING A SHED – It was time to move the small shed out of the way of an upcoming logging operation to a place close to the Cabin. Fortunately, our neighbors stopped by to help. As we almost had it moved, the shed fell on its side. Amazingly it survived and so did we.

2020 10-05, 4728 – FALLING LEAVES – The Falling Leaves drift by my window, reminding me of a popular old standard song. It marks a transition in the seasons that will eventually lead to winter. It is a great time to plan and work on projects that make this transition easier.
​

Falling Leaves

Visit from a Fox

2020 10-04, 4727 - A VISIT FROM A FOX – Recently I had two daytime visits from foxes, one at the Peace Garden and one at the Cabin. It could have been the same one, but I was cautious, making sure it was not aggressive. It wasn’t. I considered the visits to be a positive sign.
​

2020 10-03, 4726 - APPLE HARVEST – This year it took only a few minutes to harvest our apples. The old tree needs pruning and the crop was small. Still, the basket full we picked will make wonderful apple crisp. Fall can bring us back to the land to enjoy the tasty treats Nature provides.
​

Apple Harvest

Spirit Walls

2020 10-02, 4725 - SPIRIT WALLS – I have heard that Native Americans built stone walls with openings for spirits to pass through. When I saw the sunlight through one of our stone walls, I wondered who really built it, was it there long before the settlers arrived? I may never know the answer. Positive spirits are always welcome.
​

2020 10-01, 4724 - PUTTING IT TO BED FOR THE WINTER – It has been a great joy for us this summer during the pandemic to have the opportunity to work and play with the landscape near the Cabin as if we were creating an exhibit of art and Nature. It is with a sense of accomplishment that we put one project to bed for the winter.
​

Putting It to Bed for the Winter

Mowing the Field

2020 09-30, 4723 - MOWING THE FIELD – I recently hooked up the field mower to a Bob Cat and cut the summer’s growth in the Lupine Field. It is a routine that is hypnotic, taking me back to childhood haying memories and memories of my soul. It is a task that leaves me refreshed and spiritually invigorated. 
​

2020 09-29, 4722 - SUNLIGHT ON FERNS – Along with all the brilliant fall colors, there are also little shows happening that often go overlooked, such as the sunlight shinning on a patch of now brown ferns. Fall is a wonderful time to rediscover life in Nature and other places in our soul’s travels.
​

Sunlight on Ferns

Picture Perfect

2020 09-28, 4721 - PICTURE PERFECT – It appears to me that the fall foliage is picture perfect this year. Yet when we are expecting to see picture perfect, we often focus on something that blemishes the image. Like patina on a ring, it is the scratches that help make the ring shine in the sunlight.
​
​

2020 09-27, 4720 - A LATE SEASON SURPRISE – As we traversed the path at the bottom of the Lupine Field, a splash of color caught my attention as I gazed up at the faded landscape. Getting closer I discovered it was a bouquet of wild flowers. I thought the season was over. It was a special surprise.
​

Late Season Surprise

Classic Fall Beauty

2020 09-26, 4719 - CLASSIC FALL BEAUTY – We are currently experiencing the classic beauty of fall. The mountains are ablaze with color and the air has crispness to it. I am so grateful we live in such a beautiful place. I am also aware that wherever you are, you bring classic beauty to the landscape of your life.
​

2020 09-25, 4718 - A STORY ROUND EVERY BEND – I love to drive or walk the old country road to the Cabin. There is a story waiting to be told from the past, the present, and even the future, round every bend. Then again, there is a story to be told round every bend of your soul’s path.
​

A Story Round Every Bend

Fall Blend

2020 09-24, 4717 - FALL BLEND – Now that fall is officially here, it is a wonderful time to rediscover life through your five senses: seeing, hearing, feeling, tasting and smelling. There is a visual feast waiting for you around every corner as you travel your soul’s path. 
​

2020 09-23, 4716 - KING OF THE HILL – One of my favorite things to do is work with Nature to improve the land. I can use the old tractor at a slow pace to make positive changes like cleaning up mounds of dirt and rocks left by others. Big accomplishments can come from a steady pace.
​

King of the Hill

A Favorite Spot

2020 09-22, 4715 - A FAVORITE SPOT – I have several favorite spots I love to visit during the fall season, including looking at the orchard through the birches from the back entrance to the Cabin. It is a place where the world pauses for a moment as I take in the splendor of Nature.
​

2020 09-21, 4714 - LOOKING AT THE LAKE THROUGH RED OAK LEAVES – There are many different views of fall to capture, from large panoramas to small groupings of colorful subjects. Life is a collection of large views and small views that make up the whole picture.
​

Looking at the Lake Through Red Oak Leaves

Changes Are Coming

2020 09-20, 4713 - CHANGES ARE COMING – You can feel it in the air. You can see it in the changing leaves. It is only a matter of weeks before the mountains will be ablaze with the colors and smells of fall. Nature will be ready and waiting for you to pay her a visit.
​

2020 09-19, 4712 - CLEAR AIR – The feeling of fall is in the air which is coming from Canada at the moment causing clear views of the mountains across the valley. It is a wonderful time to visit a favorite spot in Nature and take a few minutes to reflect and plan for the fall ahead.
​

Clear Air

Left Over From Lunch

2020 09-18, 4711 - LEFT OVER FROM LUNCH – It appears that the squirrels had a good lunch, munching on a pine cone. They left a lot of debris on rocks and stumps. That debris will eventually nurture the forest soil. Animals often leave calling cards, letting others know they have been there.
​

2020 09-17, 4710 - RED APPLES – The apples have turned red on the trees in the orchard and even though we don’t eat these, they serve as a reminder to purchase some at a store to make pies and apple crisp. Nature provides us with many treats, some edible and some feasts for our eyes.
​

Red Apples

In a Drought

2020 09-16, 4709 - IN A DROUGHT – We are in a major drought here in the foot hills. The little brook that flows by the house is bone dry. It will take a lot of rain to recover. Mind droughts, a least, can flow again through divine inspiration.
​

2020 09-15, 4708 - GOING TO SEED – Nature is casting seeds from many of its plants. The animals and birds have for the most part risen their young investing in the years to come. Now is a wonderful time during this harvest season to release the seeds of positive actions to nourish people everywhere.
​

Going to Seed

Paul Bunyan I'm Not

2020 09-14, 4707 - PAUL BUNYAN I’M NOT – Paul Bunyan was a folk hero, a giant of a man who could fell a large tree with one swing of his axe. I just enjoy spending a little time with my small chain saw cutting small trees to improve the land. I find working on the land good for my soul.
​

2020 09-13, 4706 - FIRST WARMING – There is an old saying that when you prepare and burn wood for heat it warms you several times. I found that to be true as I worked up a sweat cutting small trees and saving the trunks for the wood heater in the cabin. What we invest in now pays off in the future.
​

First Warming

Lupine Seed Bouquet

2020 09-12, 4705 - LUPINE SEED BOUQUET – My wife gathered a bouquet of dried lupine stems with seed pods still attached so that she could plant them in a spot near the Cabin. I think of people who plant seeds of positive actions that will be sown by others to bloom in the future.

2020 09-11, 4704 - THE LAST FLOWERS OF THE SEASON – As September makes its way towards October I am noticing some of the last flowers of the season as they prepare to drop their seeds to insure there will be new ones next year. Fortunately the seasons of life allow us to grow all year long.
​

The Last Flowers of the Season

2020 09-10, 4703 - IT’S BEEN A DRY SUMMER – It has been an exceptional dry and hot summer. Nature is beginning to show the effects of the drought. The grass in the Lupine Field is brown and the little brook that runs down the mountain is dry. We look forward to rain, but now is a wonderful time to find peace in Nature.
​

​2020 09-09, 4702 - LABOR DAY PICNIC – The weather was perfect and we took the Cat for a ride up the Mountain. On the way we passed a family on a hike and as we eventually headed back down we passed them having a picnic at the edge of the Lupine Field. It was a timeless image and good for the soul.

Labor Day Picnic

Night Crawlers

2020 09-08, 4701 - NIGHT CRAWLERS – We often think of night crawlers as large angle worms that come up through the earth at night, especially after a soaking rain, but other small creatures such as salamanders also live in dark and often damp places. There is a lot of unseen life around us.
​

2020 09-07, 4700 - PODCAST 4700 A LOT OF SUNRISES AND SUNSETS – I have observed a lot of sunrises and sunsets, as well as many aspects of Nature, over the past fourteen years doing a daily podcast. It has taught me that the whole of life has many angles filled with insights.
​

Paul Bunyan I'm Not

Ready and Waiting

2020 09-06, 4699 - READY AND WAITING – The Peace Garden is ready and waiting for the opening of phase one. There is a lot to do in the future, but right now it is a time to reflect back and celebrate all that has gone into what has been accomplished. Many times we forget that important step in reaching our goals.
​

2020 09-05, 4698 - ONE BOARD AT A TIME – Over the past few months, I have had the opportunity to slowly work on projects on the land such as the cabin near the orchard. I often judge the success of the day by the number on boards I can nail in place. So it was with a picket fence in the Peace Garden.
​

One Board at a Time

Painting on the Tower

2020 09-04, 4697 - PAINTING ON THE TOWER – As we approach the celebration of the first phase of the Peace Garden, we have been putting on some finishing touches. I took a photo of my wife up on the bell tower painting a second coat and thought of how grateful I am to all those that have helped in this project.
​

2020 09-03, 4696 - IMPROVING THE ENTRANCE – Several years ago I created a path to the area that is now becoming the Peace Garden. With the increased traffic I needed to improve it so I could deliver material to the space. There is something about working on the land that is good for the soul.
​

Improving the Entrance

Moving In

2020 09-02, 4695 - MOVING IN – Now that September is upon us, many people are looking at moving to the mountains or to warmer climates. In a normal year, college students would be moving back to their campuses. Even a frog has decided to move into the partially filled reflection pond in the Peace Garden.
​

2020 09-01, 4694 - HAWK EYE – I focus on the hawk that watches over us as we travel the old road again. I keep searching for the perfect photo and when I saw the magnificent bird of prey’s sharp eye, I was reminded of how we have the opportunity to observe life through the eyes of Nature.
​

Hawk Eye

Bark Monster

2020 08-31, 4693 - BARK MONSTER – Some people are afraid of the woods. They fear the unknown, whether it is dark spirits or wild animals. The bark clinging to a tree at first appearance looked to me like some sort of monster. Then again, life itself, when lived in fear, is much the same as fearing the woods.
​

2020 08-30, 4692 - FIRST VISITOR – My wife and I set up a bird bath in a corner of the Peace Garden that is being designed by our granddaughter. I filled it with water, and later in the day I noticed that nuthatches had found it. They are the first visitors to the garden.
​

First Visitor

Scavenger Hunt

2020 08-29, 4691 - SCAVENGER HUNT – I have been on a scavenger hunt for most of my life, collecting parts and pieces of things I think I will have a use for in the future. I think many people have been doing the same thing spiritually and now are finding ways to dust off and reexamine unused abilities.
​

2020 08-28, 4690 - WONDER IN NATURE – I love to wonder what the land might have looked like in older times and who left imprints there. I wonder about a spot surrounded by ferns that looks like a potential spot for a pond. Wondering is a great way to be a kid again.
​

Wonder in Nature

Finding Peace at the Edge of the Orchard

2020 08-27, 4689 - FINDING PEACE AT THE EDGE OF THE ORCHARD – We placed a grouping of chairs at the edge of the orchard, a place where one can sit and observe Nature, to reflect, and find peace, both in the place and within one’s self. Nature can provide special places to escape, if only for a few moments.
​

2020 08-26, 4688 - OCEAN DECORATIONS – It is always fascinating when I visit Nature in other places. There is always something different at the ocean than here in the mountains. Even the air is different - fresh and salty. All one has to do is be aware of their surroundings.
​

Ocean Decorations
