On a cloudy day a hike into the misty mountains yields much needed nature therapy. At first there is resistance but once the feet hit the trail and the rain jacket put on it all seems to feel just right.

Time like water
It’s hard to believe that August is well on its way this year. Yes, time flows like water so I guess we just need to jump in and enjoy the flow. Happy Monday to all.

A Subtle Symphony: prelude
There are landscapes you hear as well as see.
Playing you a subtle symphony.
A composition rich with harmony and a subtle quiet melody.
Snake grass or Horsetail if you prefer
According to recent scientific and lay sources the family Equisetum is a “living fossil”. It is the only living genus of the entire class Equisetopsida a family of vascular plants that reproduce by spores rather than seeds.
These plant date back to the Devonian period which to my my reckoning is really, really old. I am no botanist or will not pretend to be so I have always enjoyed snake grass for its beauty but with each little drop of new understanding comes greater beauty and perhaps beauty is part of the design of universe to begin with.
Where spring came late
There are those places where it is said there are only three seasons, July, August and winter. While perhaps not always that way, this year, spring arrived late to this high mountain valley and when it arrived it was a welcome sight indeed.
Grass grew and flowers bloomed just like it always has.

Seeking Symmetry
Stepping back and slowing down.
Symmetry between sea and sky.
On a quiet day
Wandering the ponds and grasslands of Arapahoe National Wildlife Refuge on a quiet day and finding what we came for.
A quiet day.
Looking back
Looking back and enjoying what was and what will be.
Winter was winter this year as a golden sunset brings a glow to the rapidly melting landscape nearby.
Watching snow melt
Although we have had a nice bevy of spring snows this year the sun rapidly comes out afterwards and thus with each passing snow comes a quick melt down. On a recent walk we took the time to sit and watch the snow melting over a creek which by the way is better than watching paint dry or water boil especially given the fact that “a watched pot never boils”.
