"Check me out!"

It's kind of rare, but this winter we've had a lot of clear sunny and cool days. On this particular morning at dawn I saw bright pink highlighting the dark clouds. I raced to get dressed, grabbed my breakfast, Bible, and journal and drove a few minutes away to get a view of the sunrise. I wasn't disappointed in the least! I had breakfast and had a quiet time with a stunning view! 

Last year a friend of mine would often use the phrase - God's like "Check me out!" whenever she saw a fabulous view! I've adopted that one often!


Can you see the sliver of the moon on the top right?!

Stunning Views… in my Backyard!

 Feeling pretty blessed to be able to live in a place with family, friends, and fantastic views that take my breath away often. It makes me want to be still and drink it all in. 
Was able to catch these mountains as the sun was setting!
This could be a postcard in my mind! 

Eagle Watch

Going back to November for a moment here….
November is when the salmon are running up stream, spawning, and dying. Fact of life, but it's a perfect time for a feast for eagles! 
Lots of salmon in the creeks.

Hundreds of eagles(seagulls and crows too) gather to feast! The large white thing is a swan!

They are flying around, eating, or perched in a tree. We think there were mostly bald eagles with quite a few immature ones.

A walk in the woods! 

Mom and I romping around! She's loved doing this ever since I was a kid. This woman's got sharp eagle eyes!

Easily one of my favourite places!
