September / October - Walks with Elsa
Since we walk early in the morning, sometimes before dawn, and early evening, just as the sun goes behind the mountain, the ambient light is amazing. We observe the local wildlife either just waking up or headed for their evening sanctuary.
I am dedicating this page to a daily photograph; something that catches my eye, tickles my fancy, or just reminds me that life is good!
We welcome the New Year 2023.
Life is good!
