A stroll around the lake

In between bouts of rain, I slipped out for a stroll around Cove Lake yesterday. There were legs to be stretched, fresh air to be breathed and a bit of solitude to be found.

 
These mountains are visible from my parents' backyard. The cloud display has been magnificent these past few weeks. As have the sunsets...when it wasn't raining, that is.









My original plan had been to follow the path that rings the lake each day...gather a leaf or two and possibly a discarded feather or two. Rain and days spent at the hospital prevented that.


When the sun peaked through the clouds and a bit of blue was visible...well, it seemed the perfect time and place to offer up a most heartfelt thank you to the dogs above. All is well. And that is so very sweet.

    1. Thanks Debbie! Sadly, I have no idea what plant the seed heads are from. The whispy, feathery-ish bit caught my eye. Asked my mom and she didn't know either. Sorry!

  2. So glad all is sweet - that is good - and your photos of those seed heads are lovely, especially the one with raindrop suspended. Such a great feeling of transience and something about to happen.

    1. Ronnie, you'd have been right at home this past week then. The rain brought low clouds and lots of fog to the mountains. It's frosty again this morning too...

  4. What a lovely, gentle and restorative wander....I took my time working out the blue thru the hole shot! Love the seed pods and the reflections, go well.

    1. Ha! Yes, the blue thru the hole is my jeans. But the blue in the last shot is the sky peeking thru the clouds. The sun had been hiding for a bit there so it was good to see.
