let's take a walk


all work and no play
makes cat a dull girl...
so I thought it would
be fun to take you
with me on
my morning walk...







we will start here at La Dolce Vita...
if your last name means lily then you should have lilies right?
and the HOA plants giant pumpkins
every year in this site on the trail close to my house
we had snow last year,
remember and that is why
you did not see photos...










our native grasses are outstanding this year
due to the rains we had...












up the trail...





although it is early in the day,
we won't go up the mountain,
there is lots to do in the studio...







but it is nice to be out in the cool
morning air listening to the bees, the frogs and the bird song...







the color is so gorgeous right now!







don't you love the way this fence curves?
and don't worry we won't go this way...








we're going up the hill,
this tiny photo is Horsetooth Dam...

Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.
John Muir










What I know of the divine sciences and Holy Scriptures, I learned in woods and fields. I have no other masters than the beeches and the oaks.
Saint Bernard of Clairvaux






I call this stand of trees, the "three sisters" ...
sad to see that one has died last winter
it was a harsh year for trees...





my favorite, the twisted sister is
long dead, but still so beautiful...









Trees are the earth's endless effort to speak to the listening heaven.
Rabindranath Tagore






down the hill...







glad we got an early start
it is a popular hike...





at the trail head..









back home..
back to work
grazie,
cfn!
