It has been quiet in our home, we have been out of town. Moving our trailer from the summer mountains to the winter desert. It is a trek we make twice a year and usually occurs in the fall around Halloween. We travel with our trailer a distance of approx. 400 miles and do it over a 3 day period. It is not to difficult but we go over many mountain passes and travel through stretches of highway that can be very windy and gusty. Half way through the trip we stay in an area called the Alabama Hills, I love it there. It is at the base of Mt. Whitney, full of rocks and boulders and wonderful little roads that lead to no where. We spent 2 days there this year and I was very happy so was Penny and that is something! During the time there I spent many a moment walking and wandering just getting lost in the largeness of the place. I was allowing problems at home to become very large and it was important for me to spend some quality time with nature to realize the size and importance of myself in the grand scheme of things. The peace and quiet was good medicine for me.
Those rock formations look so beautiful. I can just imagine loosing track of time in such a place. Glad you found yourself good medicine. A place like that can really ground you.
ReplyDeleteI sure hope we never lose the exquisite parks we have in our beautiful country...they are a place of solace and peace for so many of us.
ReplyDeleteoh, you have an airstream! my husband and i think that we would love to have one too. : )
ReplyDeletethis place of rocks is beautiful. and you got to wander and be with nature so that things fell into perspective...

Ah, coming here is always like taking a breath! You allow me to step back from my business and my anxious moments and gaze at your gorgeous photos and instantly relax. I hope you had a most wonderful trip moving Bambi! Love, SIlke
ReplyDeletewonderful ritual moving with the change of seasons, and it certainly allows the change to settle in. xo
ReplyDeleteOh what beautiful photos and rock formations. I see how you can get lost in nature there. I, too, seek out nature when needing to help put life in perspective and to regain my center. Know how very special you are Lorrie. It definitely can be a struggle...this aging process. I just turned 62 years young and can't believe I am this old. I am gradually learning to accept the sagging, grey hair, few extra pounds and wrinkles and blessing them. They are all evidence of a life well lived.

ReplyDeleteI love the trailer, and your dog is so sweet! The photos are terrific (the rock pyramid is my favorite).
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! You know I adore the photo of your little four-legged Sweetie the most. Thank you so much for your comments on my blog. Your words me so much. This has been such a painful experience and I feel so very sad. Day by day…
ReplyDeleteI hope you’re doing well.
All my best,
Holly
It looks beautiful there! I bet that is good therapy.
ReplyDeleteI am always amazed at the size of the landscapes in your country...vast ares of one thing and then something completely different. I think I might have found that rocky landscape a bit unsettling.
ReplyDeleteI agree that nature heals and helps to deal with other issues. I love your photos- it's so different than our green NW. Thanks for visiting my blog. I've been quiet the past few weeks and am getting back into blog land. Hope you have a great weekend.
