Nature Friday - A Bluebird Day

It felt as if we had days and days of little sunlight, very cold air, and snow falling from the sky. Both Shyla and I were drooping, getting tired from the cloudy skies during our morning rides every single day.

I wanted to see the sun, and today it happened. This was the path into the forest.

When we arrived up a little higher, the blue sky stopped me in my tracks.

Shyla frolicked in the snow with the high mountains and a ski area visible behind her.

And she surveyed her kingdom as we prepared to ride home.
It was one of those precious winter days when the beauty of the mountains in winter was on full display. It was glorious.

P.S. R had a peppy day, happy to go for his little walks in the sunny winter world. These are wonderful days with him.

    Glad you got some sunshine! We've had many days of sleet, snow, and freezing rain this month, and it certainly can get disheartening.

    I was just writing in my week's blog post that the longer daylight hours and sunshine are encouraging. Like you, and Shyla, when the sun shines and the sky is blue I feel invigorated. Love the photos - you truly live in a spectacular place.

    Glad to hear that R continues to improve.

    It looks so beautiful there! We've been having sunshine too, but it's come with frigid temperatures. We can't catch a break here! It's supposed to warm up starting tomorrow, but it will probably be cloudy again. LOL
    At least the sun warms up our house nicely!

    I know it is a hard life on the mountain but it looks like you live a charmed life.
