A River Ran Through It

This WAS a gentle little stream that I used to let my children float stick and leave is down in years past. Two years ago my grandchildren were wading up to their knees in this little stream. But due to the snowfall we've had this past winter... the wooden bridge is gone and the little stream has jumped it's banks.


Starting last year we now have to float a raft to get to the fire pit to roast hot dogs and marshmallows.

My Happy Place

My family has been coming to this valley for almost 100 years. Where else can I have all the stress from the last school year washed away.

The Most Beautiful Place on Earth!

This weekend I went to my grandmother's family cabin. It has been a very wet spring and summer. The flowers were spectacular! I found all kinds of little treasures. There are times I find things in nature that just hurt to look at. Taking pictures of them is the closest I can come to recreating them. My great grandfather once said this was the most beautiful place on earth and we need to always take care of it. I think he was right.
