This year as the season slowed, I found myself seeking out places of quiet beauty ....
A pine needle covered path winds around the pond with several benches for reading or thinking
I love the peaceful reflections
And the little spots of beauty that wait to be discovered along the path
Everyone should have a beaver pond in their life. It's good for the body and spirit!
We haven't had much winter yet ... just one good snowfall, but it was a beauty!
Our Adirondack chair became a throne for a winter king to sit upon
The next morning, I awoke to breathtaking beauty as the sun hit the snow covered trees in our yard. Don't these two giants look like they are standing guard over the forest?
Wayne went for a hike and came across this somewhat disconcerting woodland creature!
He also took this beautiful photo from a ridge on Snow Mountain behind our barn
I feel so thankful for these quiet moments. They are truly gifts and have refreshed my body and spirit for the busy days that lie ahead. I hope that you have found your own moments of "peace on earth" as you head into the coming year. If not, go find some! You'll feel a whole lot better, I promise!
