I needed a break from the endless series of tasks that trying to make our new place into a home has entailed. So, I rode my mountain bike almost all day.
Storms chased me all day, and at times, it seemed as if the heavens were about to open up onto me. I'd start to hurry toward shelter. That's what I did right after taking this photo.
Then the storms would recede. After one of the storms, I veered off onto a path that I've never taken before as a whim. It was so worth it. The path and the places that it took me are going to be favorites of mine for a long time.
it is the place where we can recharge our batteries....
ReplyDeleteA new path brings new journeys. Hello from Malaysia. The sky looks threatening but still has lots of light peeping in. You are lucky to have a mountain world to explore with your canine friends. Following you
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to spend a summer's day (and we all need a break away occasionally). Love that summer meadow in your second photo.
ReplyDeleteYou certainly have the most beautiful place on Earth to recharge and enjoy life. The pictures are just gorgeous. It's been years since I've seen a field of wildflowers
ReplyDeleteYAY for you taking time for yourself. The tasks always wait right?

Nature can do wonders for the soul. Beautiful shots of your special place in the mountains.

Hopefully you'll see some light at the end of the construction tunnel soon. You're area really is magical. Thanks for joining our Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you, nothing like some time in nature to rejuvenate the soul!!

Every once in awhile, you have to do what you NEED to do. What a gorgeous photo!
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful scenery! I hardly can be onnthe computer this summer - too many wildflowers blooming and trails beckoning. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteGlad you know when and how to give yourself the right break. No dogs with you today?

We do the same thing when stress hits, go for a long walk, but of course, not in the mountains. It gets us all relaxed and ready to tackle life again.
ReplyDeleteWhat exquisite views! So thankful ou are able to share them with us 'city-folks.'
ReplyDeleteGood for you giving yourself a break, and what a beautiful break it was!
