My latest travels

Yesterday I took a ride up to NY. I found upon my travels a gorgeous park called Bear Mtn. I can go on and on about how beautiful it was, however I think I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. Little comments may ensue.

Two trees dancing together in the sunlight.



Anyone know what this is???



Looks like a huge serpent on the trail! Ok, so I have an active imagination... still thought there was a serene beauty to it.



An amazing treasure of fall.



Little did I know when I got up close I'd be rewarded with an even bigger blessing!



Then my rewards grew even more! :)
When a Moth enters your presence they are delivering spiritual messages for you, from your ancestors, angels and spirit guardians. Our elders have told us when we see the white animals return to the earth is it time for all of humanity to come together in peace and harmony to support each other through the rapidly changing times. It is an honor for me to be able to share this message from our spirit world with you.




The friendly lady who stopped to chat with me in Perkins tower gives an awe inspiring perspective to this limited view of the mountains around us. Notice on the right all the buildings in the skyline? That's NYC.




Inside Perkins Tower there are tiles featuring native wildlife you may come across in the park.













Just one of the many tiles below huge pictures with interesting info on Bear Mtn.



Views from the Tower







Doesn't that tall bunch of trees to the left look like a buck and his family grazing in a line?




Other features for this park include a zoo, museum, a skating rink, an Inn, the "Merry-Go-Round", and Iona Island. NYC is only 45 mins away.

Thoughts of Vacation

My weekend vacation has come and gone. I'm sitting here with my morning coffee wondering where to start working but my thoughts just keep drifting back to the woodlands of of VT and NY.

The rich smell of being deep in the forest with dew all around you glittering as the sun rises. The birds singing with each other as they start their day. Leaves fluttering on cool soft breezes while the trees sway slowly. The rhythmic lapping of the lake against the shore with the occasional trout surfacing for breakfast. The sun rises spreading warm light across the glowing surface in a spectacular array of yellows, and oranges as the sky fades from a deep purple to a brilliant blue.

All is in balance, all is in beauty. My heart swells with love for our earth mother. My heart swells for the comfort she gives to us daily if our eyes would only see. My heart swells for the beautiful intricate web that is life, which she nurtures every moment.

I pray that all who are here upon this earth can feel this love, this deep peacefulness within their soul. I pray that humanity would slow down just enough to be able to see the beauty of our relatives around us. I pray they would take just enough time to let in the realization that you are exactly where you are supposed to be, and perfectly supported in all of your desires. All is well as we travel this spiraling circle called life, growing and learning. Let that sink deep into your being today, then go out and celebrate life with a smile, as I will.
