Thankful Thursday

It's been a quiet and wintery week, and I'm grateful for the peacefulness of Lab Valley. On the morning before snow moved in, Shyla and I enjoyed the view of the Continental Divide while we played.

 

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.

  6. 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

  9. That forest road speaks to me. Lucky for you that you get to experience it before the humans get there. Lovely pics!

  10. One 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.

  21. 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.
