Another winter hike on the Appalachian Trail. Oh, the
quietness of snow in the woods. It doesn't get better than this.

This was one of the gorgeous sunsets we had out our
dinning room window recently.  I couldn't resist trying
to capture the moment...moments that take our breath
away.

Happy New Year

"Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. 
Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine into
trees.  The winds will blow their own freshness into
you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop
off like autumn leaves."  John Muir


We celebrated New Years Day by taking a hike on the
Appalachian Trail to the top of Cow Rock Mountain. 
Going for a hike on New Years Day has been a tradition
for several years.  It was quite cold, but energizing.  Rime
ice collected on the trees making a beautiful contrast to the
bright blue sky.  What better way to celebrate the New
Year than having a frozen Milky Way!  Goldie celebrated
her 13th birthday today. That old girl still loves to hike.
