Enjoying Time together!

A shot of the family, enjoying time together!

The perfect paw print

I often sign letters with my name and a paw print.  Isn't Mollies paw print the perfect impression of love.  See how her pad creates the impression of a heart!

It is snowing

It is snowing, a perfect late afternoon to stay in to read.  I just finished the novel "A Guide to the Birds of East Africa" by Nicholas Drayson.  I need to go through my stack of books to pick a new one to read.  Any suggestions?  But first Mollie wants to get out for a walk.  I guess it is a perfect late afternoon, snowy day to bundle up for a canyon walk.

Snowfall

Yesterday brought snow.  It fell most of the day, frosting mountains and trees.  Today, brought sun, blue skies and sparkling snow.

Are Oak Leaves Individuals?

On our morning walk, we noticed a great variety of the shapes of the oak leaves.  Maple leaves seem to be perfect copies of each other.   They have very little differences, with the exception of size and their fall colors.  Oak leaves are individuals, at least those of the Gambles Scrub oak.

Foggy Dragon Breath

This morning, clouds like the foggy breath of dragon's hang on the mountain slopes among the pines and spruce trees. The oak leaves have changed to a golden, orange, while the maples leaves have dropped covering our trail with a carpet of orange dotted with yellow and red splashes of color. On the morning breeze is the taste of the scent of bacon and blueberry pancakes. Yummm!

Dotted Path

Tonight our path was dotted with fallen leaves of red, yellow, and green.
