mountain beside a burn above our community,)of the unflagging ability of Ma Nature

Snow and Light (Sold) I am very glad that I did a rare thing and said "yes!" to joining friends on a toddle up to a place ringed in glaciers and decorated with the brilliant yellow larches that love high places. That was on October 8. By now it is probably all blanketed in snow, but the light on the glaciers was excellent that day; bits of sun peaking out between banks of clouds.

Midges in May. There is something special about going to a birthday party on the "Flats" at the head of our lake.

Morning Walk. Almost every morning I go for a walk down the road and back for a couple of kms. As I turn south and head downhill I automatically look up at the skyline on the hill behind our house. Ever changing through the seasons, sometimes in early morning the light is wonderful and concentrated and intense behind the ragged skyline of trees.
