~~Mosaic Monday~Macro Monday~~


Can anyone deny the beauty of the eyes of this doe?  These are the eyes of the mother of twin fawns.  On a day when she was taking time to rest, she looked up into the lens of the camera and did not blink.  She simply allowed the picture to be snapped and went on resting.


Here is mom with the twin fawns.  I wish I had gotten a picture of them scampering about the yard here, bouncing as they went.  They are most sure-surefooted.  What a privilege it was to be allowed to enter into their world for just a few minutes.  Even to witnessing fawn nursing.  Oh my, the glory of God's creation!

Thanks be to God!

Travel Journey 9

(Picture memories of Past Adventures}

“A man practices the art of adventure when he breaks the chain of routine and renews his life through reading new books, traveling to new places, making new friends, taking up new hobbies and adopting new viewpoints” ~Wilfred Peterson

Tomorrow we begin the journey home.  We will turn our backs on the glorious Rocky Mountains and travel east.  I have had a wonderful adventure.  I will return home refreshed and renewed!  I'll be ready to return the life I am meant to live happy to have had this time with family in the home of my youth!

Travel Journal 8



“A man practices the art of adventure when he breaks the chain of routine and renews his life through reading new books, traveling to new places, making new friends, taking up new hobbies and adopting new viewpoints” ~Wilfred Peterson

Yesterday was such a glorious in these beautiful rockies!!!   We had lunch with nieces and grand nephews and grand niece.  We met them in Estes Park.  Oh my what fun!  We ate and shopped, laughed and chatted. Oh, did I mention, they all drove 4 hours from Scottsbluff, NE for the visit?  It was such a privilege for us and What treasures they truly are!

Then last evening as we were sitting on the patio Mama Deer and Wee Fawn arrived for a visit.  I only wish I could share the pictures now but that will have to come at another time.  Mama is so beautiful and Fawn so precious.  They even allowed us to witness the nursing.  OH MY!

OH and lest I forget!  We had an adventure with a rattle snake...short lived for him as brave "Uncle N" valiantly rescued us!

Today we are off to Rocky Mountain National Park.  One of God's true works of art!

Thanks be to God!!!
