The End

I thought I could keep up with two blogs but I can't so sadly I will close this chapter of my life.  It's not really the end but only until we meet again.

If you are interested, you can find me somewhere over the rainbow where I write about spirituality, journaling, personal growth and continue to share my nature photography.

Blessings.

The sea, the sea

For whatever we lose (like a you or a me),
It's always our self we find in the sea.

I will be visiting the Pacific Ocean again soon!  I love the ocean and the smell of the salt air.  

For the first time in almost 20 years, my parents, my sister and our spouses and my children will be together all in one place at the same time.  I think it's a miracle!

blue dream of sky

One of my favorite quotes from e.e. cummings says it all:

"I thank you God for this most amazing day, for the leaping greenly spirits of trees, and for the blue dream of sky and for everything which is natural, which is infinite, which is yes."

It's been a long time since I participated in Skywatch Friday but I've never stopped looking to the sky.

Lewis

Our little teacup Yorkie joined us about the same time I quit my job and started my own business, Loran's Heart.  Word to the wise, don't get a puppy when you need to be able to concentrate on learning new things.

We have always had larger dogs which makes little Lewis kind of a challenge to figure out when it comes to training him.  He's so stinking cute though that it has saved his existence here more than once.

It's been a dry, fairly warm winter so far here in Utah.  No complaints from me about that!

How are things where you are now that we have officially moved in to 2012?

Early morning sun

"The only words that ever satisfied me as describing nature are the terms used in fairy books, charm, spell, enchantment." ~ G. K. Chesteron

Sometimes the right words are hard to find but I do love the sun lighting up this massive rock in the morning.

Hope everyone has an enchanted holiday season!

Fall light

The light is waning and the trees are changing.  Soon it will be winter.

The sky is always beautiful.

Golden gifts from nature

I love the colors of autumn.  Because they are fleeting, they are all the more precious.

It took about 30 tries to catch the leaves falling in the wind with my camera.

A small stand of water is all that's left in the creek this time of year.

"Nothing gold can stay," said Robert Frost.  Sometimes I wish it could.
