Happy New Year... 2015! 2014 is behind us and we have a whole new year took look forward to.

Christmas 2014
Christmas Day, finally the frenzy of commercialism is behind us. The stores are all closed and most of the people are gone, gone to where ever they all go for the holidays. Christmas Day is one of my favorite days of the year for the solitude in the mountains and woods. God seems far away … Continue reading Christmas 2014
Winter Solstice 2014
The Winter Solistice, the event which converges all the forces of orbit, angle and rotation to bring about the end of the Northern Hemisphere's plunge into the darkness of winter will officially hit Colorado this afternoon at 4:03 p.m. Mountain Time. The science of it all is complex, but for me it is simple, the … Continue reading Winter Solstice 2014

The video was an interesting story about a guy from Iowa who at age 50 had … Continue reading Despicable

Wolves
Today my heart and mind is with the wolves as a new hunting season begins. After being hunted, trapped and poisoned nearly to extinction during the previous century they were saved by the Endangered Species Act and efforts to save them converged upon Yellowstone National Park as new packs were introduced into the wilderness. However, … Continue reading Wolves
Native American Day
Yesterday was a good day. Early in the morning I consulted the web to see if there was anything going on in my town worth attending. Initial results looked promising, a big balloon festival going on in downtown, Colorado Springs and a few other events going on around the area. Colorado Springs seemed like a … Continue reading Native American Day
Windows of the Soul
I was prompted to do a follow up on my previous blog post about the soulful gaze of animal eyes. Last night I was awakened by a racket in the tree on on the front porch. As I investigated the source of the noise I found myself face to face with with a pair of … Continue reading Windows of the Soul
