the Golden lining
Every situation has a golden lining.... I am kicked out of bed early so I am the luck one who gets to see it.

Grandpa's chair
My great Grandfather made this chair for my Grandfather when he was a little boy. All my life it has been in the corner of his bathroom with his boots setting on it.
When I was little I always wanted to set on it. He would say if I could move it could use it. I have this memory of grabbing it from behind and wrestling it to the living room. At the time it went to my chest.... now it goes to my knee.
When he passed away all the grand children were ask to pick one thing of his to keep. This chair is what I picked. Every one else picked the things they thought were worth the most money. I chose wisely and now they all want my chair.

Ravens
For some reason there is a flock of ravens that think they live here now. I kind of like them. They are better than a watch dog and keep leaving me feathers and little shiny trinkets.

storm
Winter is here! I don't want to hear any complaining about not having enough moisture. (do you hear me farmers?)

arches
I don't know what it is about this time of year that makes the best sunsets. This is what the entrance to arches national park looks like from here.

november
Jim is working his butt off here at the house so I will let him go snowmobiling. I think the fact that he can see the snow now is a great motivator.

This is taken from the fish pond looking out at Moab. It was pretty icy and I could see my breath.

merigolds
I have no idea why they haven't frozen yet... but I am glad they are still giving a sunny glow to the back step.

shadow
Is your shadow self good or evil? I am pretty sure mine would be bad.... and a lot happier than my real self. Maybe there is a way to combine them a bit?

on the other side
It is cold outside and the kitties want in. The girl wants out so they are all out of luck. The black one is new. Maybe he came for Halloween?

snow!
We finally got some snow. It is the end of October and this is out first sign of winter. Hubby is thinking he may get to snowmobile soon.... we'll see.
This picture is taken from Arches national park looking toward the LaSal mountains. I'm so luck to live here!

fairy Queen
This lovely creature is my niece. She wanted me to take a picture of her by the tree so I snapped a quick one. It wasn't planned, but the way the setting sun is coming through the windows of the house and hitting the tree behind her makes it look like she has wings! When she saw it she said "hey I am the fairy Queen!". She now we all know what the queen looks like.

flash
We are having a crazy storm! It is way harder to take photos of lightning than I thought. I did get lucky a few times and it is beautiful!

who me?
I went out to the shop to use the saw and found this little guy (or gal) on the bag that catches the saw dust. So I ran in and got the camera. Just as I was getting ready to take the picture he turns his head and looks right at me. I didn't even know mantises could turn only their head. You learn something new every day!

wake up!
Actually, I was already awake when the sun came up. That is how I got this photo today. I love the quiet part of the morning. It gives me the time to get life back in perspective.
My happy place
I planted canna lilies in the back yard this year. to my surprise Morning Glories came up volunteer. I think the combo is beautiful! When I need to get away and find some Zen.... this is ware you will find me.
