A Cardinal proposal?

Well, she does not seem to be as interested as he is. I took this photo about 4 years ago. I have been back to this location many times, and I think I have seen the happy couple. They have both matured and they seem to be happy 😊 .

A special moon this week

IMG_0395.JPG

This week is a big one for moon observers (yes, that is a pun). Wednesday evening, Jan 31, we will be treated to a supermoon. The moon will reach it’s closest point to the earth in this orbit, and give us a beautiful view. We will also witness a lunar eclipse. That should be visible early on the morning of the 31st, sometime around 6A. The maximum eclipse will be at around 7:37A, and we will not see the total esclise here in Ohio (the moon will set before it occurs for us). 

This photo was taken a couple years ago. It is actually two photos combined into one. I have a thing about pictures of the moon.

Gone fishing ... in the mountains

On the first day in Utah of this past trip, we stopped to photograph the sunrise. The temperature was in the lower 40s. We had spent the night in St George, and we off on our journey. The morning was crisp and we were excited for the sun to rise over the mountains. When it did, I captured this photo of these two fishing.  

Sometimes the simple things bring the most calm. I can image fishing here. It looks so relaxing and peaceful.

I have never been good at taking time to relax. I have done more of that in the last month than in years (except for our vacation to Hawaii two years ago). I have to say, I am feeling so much better, and stress free.  Take a little time to let the stress go ... perhaps go fishing in the mountains.

On frozen pond

Even a frozen pond makes a landscape photo look better. It was cold the morning I took this photo. At the time we took this trip, Utah was way under the normal for snowfall. You can see some snow in the mountains, but they should have much more. This is not good for the coming spring.

Not far from this spot we saw a group ice fishing. I guess some people love the cold weather. I’m not one of them. Give me heat. (And I guess it was bigger than a pond👍😳)

Friday, the sunset and prespecive

FullSizeRender.jpg

What better way to need the work week with a sunset photo. I shared a photo Teresa took of this year at sunset earlier this week. It’s amazing how different a photo can be when you just change the perspective. 

I received good news from my doctor this week. My PSA levels are undectable, which is a good indicator. Going into the test, I was so worried about cancer coming back. While this does not mean that it will not come back someday, this is great news. My prespective on life has change so much since I was diagnosed with prostate cancer, followed by successful surgery. Think about it: So much of life is about prespecive! 

Have an amazing weekend.
