My online journal where I share my interests in photography, nature, coffee life, journaling, fountain pens, bicycling, spirituality and asking deep questions.
Since arriving in the Phoenix area, I’ve made 3 trips to visit my parents in Gold Canyon. A couple weeks ago I was shocked to see the condition of the golf course in their community. The grass that was green the week before now looked like it was dying, and it was. So, what happened?
It was nice to see blue skies and sunshine yesterday after almost 4 days of constant rain. Found this image on my way to coffee.
And, when the ground is soaked we also find a few mushrooms popping up.
The snow is pretty much gone after a couple of warm days but Nature is planning on sending us more moisture in the form of snow on Wednesday. I took this image last Saturday after our snow on Friday. Nature makes simple and pleasing art.
… here in Colorado. They are forecasting temperatures not to rise above 32 degrees F until Saturday. Night time temperatures down around zero. I saw this scene as I headed for the coffee shop. It does not totally depict just how cold it felt. However, Colorado winters have a plus side in that the sun will melt the snow and ice even when we are below freezing temperatures. Stay warm!
Found along the Fisher Natural Area Trail. One of my favorite areas to walk that’s near my condo.
“You can not purchase a meaningful life. You can only live it, one day at a time.”
I found this leaf caught in the tall grass along the Fisher Nature Area. It seemed to be suspended in the air so I took a shot. When we take the time to notice each leaf has a specific look. The shape, color, and size are all dependent on how much light, water, nutrients, insects and weather. I walked past this leaf a couple days after taking this image and it was gone. I assume blown away during one of the windy days or disturbed by someone passing by.
