I made my way around High Dune to the west to capture this view of the early sunlight on east facing dunes.
"Ever felt an angel's breath in the gentle breeze? A teardrop in the falling rain? Hear a whisper amongst the rustle of leaves? Or been kissed by a lone snowflake? Nature is an angel's favorite hiding place." - Terry Guillemets

I don't normally post 2 days in a row but after my last post I got to thinking about how wonderful this world is with creatures as small as insects to those as large as elephants. And who doesn't love ephilants! This family were gathered at a waterhole near dusk drinking together. Bit of an excerpt from GG#1 :
There is nothing like the feeling when a large parade of these wild amazing & majestic gentle giants walks around the open jeep you are sitting in while on safari in the South African bush, specifically at Sabi Sands reserve (& staying at the very appropriately named Elephants Plains Lodge). Unforgettable. They really are amazing animals!
Cheers all

If we follow the path we saw in our previous photograph and past the hill on which stands the Wesleyan Church we saw a couple of days ago, we come to this lovely spot. Just to the right of this shot is the famous Ross Bridge. But I can't think of a better place to sit down in the grass and meditate a while. It really is a perfect winter's day.
From the gentle doe to the mighty stag, the totem deer represents gentleness, innocence, intuition, and unconditional love, as well as safety, strength, and protection
The tiniest of still life arrangements! just a few petals and and a miniature vase ... The vase is under 2" high, and the flowers about the same across.

Elephants are gentle giants, who show great care toward their herd, offspring and elders. This symbolizes responsibility, determination and loyalty. Patience: Elephants are also a symbol for keeping calm and having patience as elephants are generally calm and mellow creatures, unless their young or herd is threatened
Most African elephants are diurnal though some herds who live near human populations have become mostly nocturnal to avoid human interactions.

Then realizing you've caught the gaze of another visitor.
The Anderson Valley wine country is about 100 miles north of San Francisco and was bathed in gorgeous late afternoon sun when I drove through it on Highway 128.
My attention was caught by the sheep I saw in the vineyards, a scene that is just instantly pleasing! I had to pull over and get a picture of this.
In recent years it has become popular in northern California to use sheep for sustainable and ecologically aware management of vineyards. They eat weeds and fertilize at the same time and are cheaper than gasoline-powered farm equipment and do not contribute to erosion. Common sense rediscovered!
A winter full of beautiful and vibrant colors. Never saw so many red berries before, one different from each other.

A pair of mourning doves has a nest somewhere in our yard. They are so timid they will wait until the smallest finch has left the pond before they will fly down for a quick bath.
