Before the cliffs, the road splits, with one branch following a bench above the Yampa for many miles, while the other winds its way up through the canyon. Both are scenic, both beckon. Dinosaur National Monument, Colorado

We love Halloween and all the creepy shots that you can come up with. A little different but inspired by this pic: i.pinimg.com/236x/1f/3b/41/1f3b4154827a805e8de4df8c9e9ee2...

Hope you enjoy! <3

Altarnun, located on the north-eastern edge of Bodmin Moor takes its name from the 6th century church of St Nonna , where St Nonna’s altar was originally preserved. Several legends of early celtic saints describe how they used to carry a portable stone altar with them. The modern spelling of Altarnun is a corruption of the earlier Altarnon. The tower is 109 feet high and took more than a generation to complete. It is known as the ‘cathedral of the moors’.

 

The village nestles in the valley of Penpont Water, a tributary of the river Inny. There is a 15th century packhorse bridge across the river.

Could be an interesting name for a café? Or beauty parlour?

I purposefully softened the focus a little for a slightly dreamy, vintage feel (not sure it worked). HMBT :-)

The month of June always feels like a waiting game. The calendar says summer, and long days and warmer temperatures beckon me to the hiking trails. But snow lingers far into summer up in the high country, leaving many mountain trails inaccessible or dangerous until they are fully melted out. So as the days tick by, I monitor trail reports and snow level projections, reading comments from other hikers on where ice axes are still necessary for steep slopes, or warning of collapsing snow bridges and challenging water crossings.

 

Then finally the waiting comes to an end as the alpine areas shed their winter cloaks and begin the transition to summer. (Or in this case the sub-alpine areas, since this meadow sits at just over 5200 feet/1585 meters and I still had to cross some snow on the 8 mile roundtrip hike to get there.) But these are the trails that spark the greatest joy and delight in my heart - the meadows filled with flowers and sparkling lakes, ringed with mountain peaks and ridges. A joy made all the more precious by the limited hiking window in these areas, sometimes as little as 8-10 weeks from summer snow melt to first autumn snowfall.

 

And I always feel a bit giddy on my first hike of the season to these areas, as though my heart might explode with celebratory elation, as my eyes take in the sights I have longingly waited many months to see.

Cotton is one of the most beautifully striking plants in all stages of its growth. Say hello to what the cotton looks like in my garden today. The stunningly beautiful flower stage is long since over for the season, but this stage beckons to me just as much. Walking around the backyard today, I was reminded I need to harvest it and bring it in. I only did about six plants, but I love to display it in jars as a reminder for the next year, that I would miss its beauty if I didn't put in at least a couple plants the next season.
