My online journal sharing interests in photography, nature, coffee life, journaling, fountain pens, bicycling, spirituality and asking deep questions.
Took a walk yesterday along the Poudre River with my friend Dianne. I had never walked this portion of the bike trail. The city has sure done a wonderful job on this area. I was most impressed with all the different wildflowers the have scattered along the trail.
I’ll be heading up to Red Feather Lakes area this afternoon and take a few images for a couple renewing their wedding vows on the 25th anniversary. Should be fun!
Every day, priests minutely examine the Law
Ikkyu
And endlessly chant complicated sutras.
Before doing that, though, they should learn
How to read the love letters sent by the wind and rain,
The snow and moon.
Cloudy and overcast skies this morning. Looking and feeling like winter, probably because it is. A few snowflakes could be seen on my walk to the bus stop. I thought, sorry, there I go again thinking, I could add to the wintery mood if I converted this image to black and white. They, those weather guys, say we are only going to reach the low 20’s today. I’ve decided to NOT wear my sandals, so my biggest decision for the day has been made. I’m now at the Lory Student Center to read and write. Will meet a good friend for brunch later. Have a super Awesome week!

We finally are warming up, expecting 40 degrees today and 50 tomorrow. Took this image about an hour ago along the Poudre River. Stay warm! 🙂
Instead of taking my walk around the block I headed to the North Shields Ponds nature area. The Poudre River runs along the nature area and this is where I stopped and sat along the rivers edge. The clear skies made for wonderful fall colors. The soft sound of the gentle flow of the river was soothing. A good way to start the day.
