Imprisonment you'll find
Lies within your heart, your soul, your spirit and your mind

Holiday stuff

Since I'm very slow with words lately, thought I'd put up a few past holiday impressions. Hope ya'll enjoy...

Texas

Arizona, Petrified Forest

Arizona, Grand Canyon

Washington, Mt. Rainier

Washington, Annas Bay

Sunday walk...in the woods...in winter


Sometimes it feels good just to go out for a walk in the woods, in winter when the sun is out and there is almost no one else out there walking around.


You don't find too many places like this around here anymore, all the more pleasurable when you do come across a "secret" place.  No cars, or people, just nature and animal footprints.
 

For now I'll enjoy this scene, serene and quiet....

but I also hope that Spring won't wait too long this time.




no resolutions, going with the flow

Wow, me thinks it's going to be an exciting year in concerts! Now I just have to figure out which one I want to see most?!

For the start of the new year I'm not making any set of resolutions, but I will try to make the right decisions for me and my family, enjoy what I have been given and just let life be life.....

Anyone reading this....I wish you a most Happy New Year!

Little escapes


A compilation of several weekends worth of little escapes. (hint: compilation is another word for "I've been procastinating again about blogging")


Bad Wimpfen
What a nice sunny October day ET and I spent in Bad Wimpfen. It was a bit chilly, but the sun shone, we had cake and coffee...and each other

Blauer Turm in Bad Wimpfen

Love the "Fachwerk"

It doesn't look as steep as it actually was

good use of small space


 Burg Lichtenstein (near Reutlingen): 
 I love the mood this jewel of a castle evokes....
makes you feel like a fairy princess walking around the park!
(just ignore all the others out and about)
