God’s creation
Landscapes of Southern Illinois
As I drove through different areas or come around a bend on foot, scenes strike me. These are just a couple from the last 24 hours. Click on the pictures.
Lay of the land
The wind was howling at 15-20 miles per hour. The air temperature was 24°F in the woods with a wind chill of 10°F or so. But there’s still so much to see, so much to…
British Columbia Road Trips
Even though we ended up at some wonderful destinations during our trip to British Columbia, there were a lot of hours spent on the road. Every morning we left our home base in Salmon Arm,…
Natural Bridge (Yoho NP)
I guess I don’t have a bucket list really, but if I did, seeing Yoho National Park would be on it. I was fortunate enough to visit the park for a portion of one day.…
Hummingbird Hawk-Moth
This was a 19-second video that I took with my phone yesterday. I slowed it down to half speed. It’s a Hummingbird Hawk-Moth. I know it’s not the best quality, but kind of cool to…
One Day in New Brunswick
For me there is still a place where I can visit, a place where life does slow down just a little bit. Carleton County, New Brunswick, Canada. Driving around the hills of Knoxford and the…
Afternoon Light
But where would I rather be? If everyday this were mine to see.
More Than A View
I think a lot of people would be better served if they could sit here for a week, or even two. The isolation, creation so perfect, in thought and silence, would be better than we…
Sun in the Corner
The sun was setting on the distant horizon, with splendor that captured everyone’s eyes. But I noticed what it shone on, and noticing it’s beauty was truly my prize.
Autumn Rays
Some awake, and dread pins them to the warmth, a sigh instead of words to say. Then, another looks at morning, embracing, God has granted me another day!
Time for the Sky
How could I have been so busy that I didn’t have time for the sky? The setting I seek, to drift, and ponder each and every why.
Lost Lake Loop
I started this post back in October (2015) and I have posted several pictures from this trail in a slide show, but I wanted to single out some of those photos even more, so I…
At Peace in the Forest
I walked in the woods. I walked on crusted snow. There were no other foot steps. There was no trail. I followed some animal tracks, but mostly just the lay of the land. The crusted snow was slick in spots but I thought of how much more difficult this walk would be in the summer months of growth.
Walking the Uncanoonucs
Walking some local Goffstown trails were more than enough for a NH fall foliage fix.
Passing Through
…Many times I travel to a spot just to let it pass through me.
Where Words Take Me
“God never made an ugly landscape. All that the sun shines on is beautiful, so long as it is wild.”
I agree Lord Byron
There Is Pleasure In The Pathless Woods There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shore, There is society, where none intrudes, By the deep sea, and music…
