Sunday was a very pleasant and relaxing winter day for Hubby and me.
Hubby enjoyed working on his model projects, and I spent the day working on sewing projects.
And we both enjoyed the view right outside our window.
Look carefully; there are two bucks snacking on oak leaves.
I live in the shadow of a mountain, so it takes a while for the sun to shine on my home. The above photo is what my backyard looked like this morning.
The next photo shows the sunrise from the front of my home. You can also see part of my driveway.
I am not a photographer, so having light and shadow is a difficult shot for me.
More views from my front yard:
I wanted to show a UFO that I have been diligently working on. I guess I haven’t been diligent enough, but it is getting close.
Remember this? (I’m not surprised if you don’t!)
Coming soon.

Up in our neck of the woods, there once was two small towns, Meyers Falls and Kettle Falls. As often happens throughout history, one town swallows another, and in this case, Meyers Falls became a part of Kettle Falls.
What remains behind, however, is a lovely place for a walk and a picnic (but not in winter). In winter, we can still take that walk and observe a different kind of beauty…a partially frozen hydroelectric dam. It is the oldest continual working source of hydro power west of the Mississippi River.
Meyers Falls is about a 10 minute drive from where Hubby and I live.
Clicking on a photo will show a larger view.
Hubby always thinks that it is important to put me into a scene…perspective, you know. LOL!
Baby, it’s cold out here!
Sometimes a walk behind the dam will reward you with wildlife. Not today.
The interpretive center where one can learn a little history.
And since it was such a gorgeous winter afternoon, we took pictures of the surrounding mountains as well.
This is a view I am blessed to see everyday by virtue of living across the river. This little mountain is known as Kelly Hill.
Have you explored your surroundings?
