Single elk from the herd today Colorado 🌱🌿🍃🐬🦌

Colorado elk Went to tea with my daughters today at Cherokee Ranch and Castle near Sedalia, Colorado. Beautiful setting. Saw this elk herd right outside my car window on the way out. The herd then crossed in front of my car. Must have been close to 35 elk in the herd. No antlers yet 🦌 🌱🌿🍃🐬

Happy Mother’s Day To all who hold life precious To Mum’s past and present To those who hold memories of Mom’s close to their hearts To Mom’s of four leggeds To those who give birth to beauty, and kindness and peace. Blessings to your beautiful hearts 🌸🩵🌿

From my recent wanderings. Across the US to NJ, across the Atlantic, Ireland, England, France, Germany, south of Ukraine and near the Middle East. Lots of maneuvers to stay out of harms way. Long time to hang in the sky but was totally worth it. Amazing 21 days away. 🌱🌿🍃🐬🌊

Stardust dreams

Flying Hotel From my wanderings ~ Sleep pods on the Dreamliner overseas plane. Have to say it was nice having my own private space for 16+ hours but honestly the design could be tweaked a bit. The landing back in the US was so good I didn’t know we had landed. Not my photo. 🌱🌿🍃🐬

The same eaglets as previously posted nearly two months later. Not far off from fledging. Screenshot from Colorado eagle camera.

Eaglets My, what big feet you have :) Wonderfully comical and endearing large talons they are developing. Sometimes they seem to be more talon than body. Amazingly fun to watch as they grow through these cameras. Would never have such intimate insight into their lives otherwise. Ah, nature :)

Eagle’s nest Colorado Screenshot from past season Both parents present. The two eaglets were to the side of the nest. The third egg didn’t hatch.

Peony joy Daily joy from me to you. Last years flowers and buds. This years buds are currently under our late May snowfall. Will know in a few days how the buds are doing. Hopeful as they are one of my favorite joys of spring. 🌱🌿🍃🐬

Yes, Grandmother. Grandma Annie. Kind and funny as the day is long. The person everyone in the family remembers the most and with the most joy. She even made hanging out clothes fun. Find joy. Times are weird and crazy and scary. Joy is still out there. “If you don’t laugh you will cry.”

Antler shed. No animals were harmed. Antlers are shed annually. It was left as a gift under the piñon pines.

The welcome back: spring snow in Colorado. View of the snowy front range foothills from my Uber ride. 🌱🌿🍃🐬

Snowy ground Eastern Colorado approaching landing on Wednesday. It was still snowing so the pic shows that. The patterns on the ground were interesting. The runways were just wet and not icy thankfully. 🌱🌿🍃🐬

It’s rather telling that while I was away and questioned as to where I was from, the pat answer was a lie. I do not endorse lying in any form but it really was for my safety. I was from Norway for 21 days. A man came over from a group to ask where I was from. Norway. Ok then, he said. Sigh. 🌱🌿🍃

Just realizing, after being away for 21 days in a bubble from the world that nothing has changed. I lived those days in joy and did not let them be stolen from me. Take some time if you are overwhelmed. Even a few days. A few hours. Find joy. Take care of yourself. Refresh. Breathe. 🌱🌿🍃🐬💙🤗

Parrot and pigeon Have returned from my travels. A simply amazing 21 days away in a bubble away from most news. A delightfully perfect adventure. I will share a few photos but will keep most of the memories close to my heart. Will get back to photos from here. 🌱🌿🍃🐬 Photo by my friend
