Running this morning was an extra treat. I was thinking about my guys back home picking raspberries, and having a pioneer breakfast together when I got home. The sun was behind a huge cloud, so as soon as I got home I grabbed my camera to have a little photo fun. Everything seemed so colorful and interesting. I temporarily abandoned my people portrait lens and made Nature my only subject.
Look who showed up for a portrait anyway! I’ve never seen such a creature before – all the look of a honey bee: size, shape and fat pockets full of pollen. But its color! My camera just couldn’t capture the glorious green. Had to be there.
And then this fuzzy guy bumbled into my sights. I’ve felt the luxury of a beaver and mink pelt, but I wonder what his would be like? (I did not try to find out)
Wonder how many wishes will come true because of this little beauty.
And how many years did it take for all this lichen to form on this fence post? And who was the cowboy who put it up? Some unanswerable questions I thunked about this morning.
The Glory of Brome trumps the Glory of Rome today.
When I got home there was a bear in the berry patch. No worries though – it was just my own Hunny Bear.
Here’s one of the Little Bears, but that’s not porridge. It’s Pioneer Pudding, a recipe we tried from the Friend magazine.
Hope this afternoon holds more of the same – blessings aplenty, good company aplenty, and beauty all around.
11:00 pm It WAS a great afternoon/evening. Here are a couple more shots of our day.
It’s fun to see Neil enjoying Little Joe again. We went up the canyon and did some horseback riding, dutch oven dining, and hiking.
Then we went back to Manti for some hob knobbing with the Olsen’s.
