Loved the predawn clouds at Pineridge Natural Area this morning. Happy that Nature offered me a subtle hint of pink/orange over the eastern horizon to begin this new day. The wind has blown all day (currently 19 mph). Even with the sun shining almost all day it never warmed up. Yet, with the sun shining the past couple of days, the snow has been melting which has caused the city to close down many of the trails at the natural areas. Those wet and muddy conditions destroy the trails. Shot this from the parking lot. Met a friend for a Thai lunch at a new restaurant, at least for me. Food was good and I walked away stuffed. I spent some time at the Pineridge Natural Area this afternoon and soaked up the sun while journaling. Rather quiet there. Hope you have a great day!

Except for the wind, sounds like a perfect Monte day!

It was an enjoyable day. We are much colder this morning at 9 degrees. Makes my mocha latte and journaling time a better experience. Have a great Friday!

You often mention visiting the Pineridge Natural Area and are always sharing such beautiful photos, so I had to ‘Google Map (GMs)’ it this morning. What a beautiful area. With 2600+ photos available via GMs, I spent some time ‘looking around.’ It made it feel a little more like I know where you are…but not in a creepy way. LOL
Have a good weekend, my friend!

Their website is good also! They give information about the trails and offer pdf maps to download. There is also information about all the cities natural areas. Have a great day and enjoy weekend.

I love the things you see at Pineridge. There is always something interesting, it seems. And having another Thai restaurant to choose from is never a bad thing!

Absolutely kool to have another Thai restaurant. I’m a believer that we can never take the same image as nature is always changing something about the scene. In many ways that’s what keeps me returning to the same area. What can be interesting today?
