“Keep close to nature’s heart and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean…”
John Muir
What a beautiful day for us. Temperatures reached the mid 40’s, blue skies and sunshine. Almost good enough to make a trip to the Dairy Queen. I watched the sunrise at Pineridge Natural Area this morning, a good start to any day. This afternoon I made a trip back to sit in the sun and journal. I took the long way home over Horsetooth Reservoir, up Rist Canyon, down Stove Prairie to the Poudre Canyon and back into town. A good mental reset! This is a view of Horsetooth Reservoir along the east side. Love the patterns of the ice.
I also got my second COVID-19 immunization yesterday. I’m cured now.

Thanks, Earl! It was a good day.

I also love the patterns in the ice. That was quite a drive back to town. I’m envious of your wide open spaces. Congrats on receiving your second dose. I have an appointment this Friday for my first dose. 🤞

I had more symptoms with my first shot than the second, go figure.
Yes we do have some wide open vistas out here while you have all the trees, green and rain.

Beautiful scene, Monte. It looks like it could be in Alaska or Siberia. The soft light along with the patterns in the ice make it look almost otherworldly.

Otherworldly defines it well. The wind, snow, sunshine all play a part in creating this scene. I’m always in awe and wonder.
