Shadows are long and days are getting shorter. Fall seems to be at its peak or maybe as I take my time walking the dogs, letting the old man sniff and saunter, I can take it in. Sunshine through golden and even past golden leaves makes for magical light and the moments slow. Welcome to my happy place ❤️ is it any wonder I can’t stop making heart shaped offerings to the forest? #fallsplendor #bigbearlake #morningritual #justbreathe #sometimesitisaboutthejourney #walkwithme #fallingleaves #sunshineisacolor #puppylove (at Big Bear Lake, California)

Fall has it's own exuberance as if to say don't be sad in the dying, the sloughing off, the letting go. It's in the release that new growth finds strength, hidden for now, gathering and waiting. #myview #mountainhike #heart #fallingleaves #peace #goldentime #sunshineisacolor #love #smallofferings (at Big Bear Lake, California)

This might just be my favorite clump of lupines. As we walked past a big fat bumblebee its legs encrusted with pollen lumbered along seemingly drunk but still eager for more. That's how I feel about spring in the mountains. It seems to last a really long time some years but I'm totally OK with that in fact thrilled.#springinthemountains #spring #wildflowers #lupines #morninghike #myview #bumblebee #happy #timetostartmyday #sunshineisacolor #bigbearlake (at Big Bear Lake, California)

Hidden heart #1. Seeing this empty log with sun streaming in and leaving an offering for the wee people. #myview #itsmystory #sunshineisacolor #bigbearlake #hiddenhearts #takeahike #mountainbliss #justbreathe #ibelieveinfairies (at Big Bear Lake, California)

Loving the Lupines heart. Every where I look there seems to be a craggly old stump with a gorgeous clump of lupines growing next to it- a woodland magic that is hard to capture. #lupines #wildflowers #bigbearlake #morninghike #purple #sunshineisacolor #youhaventseenthelastofthesebeauties #happiness #justbreathe (at Big Bear Lake, California)
