Then, a small snowstorm moved into the area. We've had so little snow this season that I was enamored with seeing Lab Valley in white! This is the Lone Ponderosa where we buried the ashes of our departed pups. It is such a special part of Lab Valley. I find this towering tree to be inspiring.
In National Forest near Lab Valley, there are serene places to ride my fat bike. No other humans had been out but a bobcat and a coyote pair had wandered this forest road before me. Further down the road, I ran into moose tracks in the fresh snow.
Living in a peaceful and beautiful place means so much to me.
it does...and we love the sugar coated trees... it is as if mother nature takes a photo too, when she bans all things with freezing for a while...
ReplyDeleteWe love just seeing the photos of your peaceful and beautiful home. The Lone Ponderosa looks stunning in the snow.

ReplyDeleteLiving in a peaceful and beautiful place is a desire of many. Sadly not all of us get to do just that. I'm glad you do.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous Thankful Thursday. Scritches to the pups. ♥
seeing your world through your eyes and lens, is like stepping back in time, through a time warp before our world was paved with concrete
ReplyDeleteSandra said it so well. To know there are places where few people go still available in our world is amazing and we get to share it with you through your photos and your words. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteWe are way under normal for snow totals here too and are glad to have some back the past few days. It might be cold but it is pretty too.
ReplyDeleteThat forest road speaks to me. Lucky for you that you get to experience it before the humans get there. Lovely pics!
ReplyDeleteOne tree, standing sentinel over the ashes, and then the road with an old style fence, this could be from many years ago when all was safe and peaceful, and that is how your Lab Valley will be for you all.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beeYOUtiful place to enjoy nature and your wonderful pups!
ReplyDeleteAny photo with your pups is gorgeous KB!! The last photo WOW!!
ReplyDeleteHugs cecilia

ReplyDeleteIt's just a beautiful landscape in a magical place.

ReplyDeleteAs much as I prefer the warmer weather, it is just so beautiful there.

It looks perfect there. You deserve to be somewhere you love.
ReplyDeleteWe too live in the middle of nowhere and I love the serenity that nature brings! Thanks for sharing Lab Valley with us! Have a marvellously Happy Day!
ReplyDeleteThat Ponderosa sure is a special one, with memories like that attached to it.
ReplyDeleteReally love your last photo, makes me feel peaceful :)
The snow looks so nice and so does your area there. We have had such a roller coaster winter with too warm, then super cold, ice, then snow, then ice. It's tough for us winter lovers.
