March 2020 Serenity Blog Circle - The Outdoors is not Closed

The world needs serenity and peace and calm more now than maybe it ever has in recent decades. The images I chose for this blog post are from about 10 days ago, which seems like a lifetime ago. So much has evolved so quickly in the past week in our world due to the COVID - 19.

I have so few words to share, my brain is tired from what has been happening. I hope you get some sense of peace from my images and those of my friends in this blog circle. I am grateful that the beautiful outdoors and nature cannot be closed. Even if it’s just a walk down your street, in a park or in your own backyard, try to enjoy a few moments of fresh air and nature.

My two friends and I went out for a snowshoe in the mountains about 10 days ago - we laughed and talked, enjoyed the snowfall and fresh air, stopped for pictures and ended our afternoon with a well deserved meal. I will look forward to more days like that when all this craziness has disappeared.

The trail essentially followed a creek bed and the creek poked out of the snow periodically.

Still seeing signs of the 100 year flood in 2013 - so amazing.

Stay safe and stay healthy, friends.
