Random

I'm not into writing anything particular this evening. Just wanted to put some random photos out there that I've taken recently to share with folks.Not much snow has fallen this winter but due to a lack of wind allot of frost has been able to accumulate on the top side of branches. It's a pretty cool visual looking up from the base of a birch tree. Dark branches outlined with the white of frost backed by a rich blue sky....Full moon night at the house. House?... Cabin?... what ever you want to call it. It's our cozy little home in the woods.For some reason this door knob on an old dilapidated shed fascinated me. It exuded character and projected a mysterious history which put all kinds of stories in my head. I mentioned frost collecting on branches this winter. This is a great example where the frost accumulated on a young tree making it heavy enough to bend to the ground.

Denali is just down the road

Becky and I frequently go for walks with the dogs around the neighborhood. It's a quiet part of town where you can hear the wind blowing through the trees and the bird singing instead of cars buzzing down the road. We've lived in the same house for just about three years and have been walking the same trails and roads during that time. You would think we've seen it all.... I certainly thought we had but I was wrong. Last week we went for a walk with some neighbors down a road we had walked down too many times to count. The sun was going down and our backs were to the scene in the image above. For some reason I decided to turn around to see where the dogs were. To my amazement there was a clear view of Denali at what seemed like the end of the road. In reality Denali was still over one hundred miles away as the crow flies but what a view. After that walk I've started looking all around me, not just where I'm going. It's become an Easter egg hunt for views. What fun.
