Sleepy Elk (#1058) by CapturingScenes

This sleepy elk appeared to not have a care in the world. I was so jealous!

Why is it we like to make mountains out of molehills? We all have times in our lives when we are expected to climb a mountain. I simply wonder why is it when we have a small bump in the road we want to treat it like a mountain. Life is hard enough, I say hop over the bumps with a smile and save the sweat for the mountain.  ;-)

They say there is light at the end of the tunnel!
I took this image on January 2nd during a ride out to the coast via the forest.  We had had several weeks of rain and no sun.  As we came out onto the coast you could see a break in the clouds out in the distance; the sun fighting it’s way through.  As I looked at the scene it made me think of the new year fighting it’s way through the storm clouds of the past year for so many of us.  This was a clear sign for me that the sun will find it’s way through the storm and spread it’s warmth.  Just as hope and joy will find it’s way through the storm clouds of the past few years and shower us with warmth and easier days ahead in the New Year.
Wishing all of you a Blessed New Year!  :-D …Sammi

“The Hawk” (#1056) by CapturingScenes
I have always been fascinated with hawks.  I am amazed by quietness in which they exist.  In reality I know they are sitting patiently looking for dinner but it seems to me they are in deep meditation.  They are so still, so quiet, just being present with that moment in time.  They seem oblivious to the fog mist, the rain and the cold, to the noise of cars going by or the laughing of people walking near by.  I think I am just jealous that they seem to be in this total state of meditation that I have been attempting to reach for 50+ years.
Look to nature for inspiration in staying present in the moment!  ;-)
