I'm so used to venturing out during the week that I'd forgotten just how busy weekends can be. There were so many people that at first it was like an assault on my senses and I was struggling to find quiet in amongst the noise.
As I took in the sights and walked some of the trails the noise eventually subsided and I found myself in tune with the more soothing sounds of nature.
The weather was so beautiful and as I lost myself in the woods I felt my surroundings embracing me like a old friend.
I love days like this and really should venture out more often. What fun and exciting things did you get up to this weekend?
Those are awesome photos. It looks so relaxing.
ReplyDeleteI must say I had a very busy weekend. Sewing and cardmaking. Chores around the house and running errands.
But...I am looking forward to some much needed rest and relaxation soon.
Looks like a wonderful place to get away from it all. I love the water.
ReplyDeleteOh so beautiful! What an amazing place!
ReplyDeleteWell, my weekend was all about cleaning and reordering after our trip to England. And catching up with everything!
Thanks for your nice comments, they were much appreciated! I do have lace curtains all over my home, it's why I noticed it ;) When I purchased that lace to make them, all the women at the shop were quite shocked- it's bridal lace, but I got it at bargain price, so I bought 35 metres of it!! they were curious to know what it was for, and they said they had never heard anyone using bridal lace for curtains ;))
Have a terrific rest of the week,
Monicax.
wow what pretty photos!
ReplyDeleteWhat an incredible place. I HAVE to have the sound of water nearby...it's the only thing that reminds, or rather creates immediate calm where I hadn't known there was tension...do you know what I mean? I live by a lake but still built a pond with a bubbler in the backyard where I could hear it to fall asleep by. I think it's something to do with ions in the air but the sound....mmmm. Thanks for the lovely pictures.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone.
ReplyDeleteLove the photos Kathryn. I think I can hear the water. I have a CD I'm going to send you that has sound recording of the water of Lake Superior. I listen to it when I get homesick for the water. I'm sorry I missed your birthday. I hope you had a great day.
ReplyDeletekathryn,
ReplyDeletethank you for the beautiful words on my recent post.

xo, graciel
Jane - thanks for the lovely comments and don't worry about missing my birthday. The trip to the waterfalls were a gift to myself as my husband was away for it this year. I had such a beautiful day.
ReplyDeleteI love water, and all that it does for my spirit. These photos were almost as good as getting out somewhere gorgeous to take in the sights!
ReplyDeleteThank you - these photos just gave me a great taste of the home I left behind! I used to hike Great Falls with my dogs all the time!
