A nature soak

 Flat Creek - warm day with sunshine led me on a short walk.

Thankful Thursday

Today's quote:

Take your good fortune and lift your life to its highest calling. Understand that the right to choose your own path is a sacred privilege. Use it. Dwell in possibility.

OPRAH WINFREY

The woods beckon

A trail marker at the beginning of one of our popular trails in Montreat, NC

Looking through the leaves down to the stream

Or looking through the leaves to sky above!

A thought for today:

Compassion is not religious business, it is human business, it is not luxury, it is essential for our own peace and mental stability, it is essential for human survival.

H.H. Dalai Lama

Gifts of nature

The spiral reflection from the leaves above the pool captured my attention.  The pool has recently been reinforced by summer bathers...but I didn't see any on my visit.
