Let's Have a Look-See

We drive through Montana every year as we travel to visit my son and family. I really love it. I always want to stop, but there is never time. So, we made time. We stayed for a couple of days and it was everything I knew it would be. The wild flowers were beautiful. This is Indian Paintbrush. I'm not sure why, but every little town in Montana has a little white church. We stayed in this old Forest Ranger cabin.   It was a sweet little place.  It has been well maintained and has the cutest antique furnishings. It also had a couple of travel journals. They read like a novel. They had a big effect on me. I was touched by the words of these people I didn't know, but had shared a little bit of their journey. I added a few words of my own. We went on a walk. Okay, It was more like a hike. In my world, a hike is an up-hill walk. We saw some trees. I love trees. If you go up high enough, you see........

We have been on Vacation. Although we spend a good portion of our time in California with family, sometimes, we just act like tourist and enjoy the beauty of the earth. Here are my 3 morning walks. Walk #1 Rio Del Mar It was a beautiful day and the flowers were amazing. The succulents were lovely. These flowers were sooo big. The colors were vibrant. And what is the morning walk without a sand dollar? Walk #2 Natural Bridges State Park The sand was pretty cool. This beach has tide pools. Walk #3 Henry Cowell Redwood Grove  I have been to a few Redwood groves and I am always in awe. These trees have survived earthquakes, fire and 1000's of visitors and yet they continue to amaze. I am grateful we took the time to take a walk or two.
