Ride in Winter

Yes, We ride in winter.
Approaching sunset in Asheville.
How I love the bare branches
That throw shadows across the road.
Lines and bends.
Spectacular beauty.
Heartbeats.
Stark strength.
And an endless mysterious ride.

Another Beautiful Day

"We should certainly count our blessings, but we should also make our blessings count."
~ Neil A. Maxwell

They say the world will end today at 6 pm, the apocalypse, the rapture. For me, it's just another beautiful day in Hominy Valley, North Carolina. Blue skies, green all around, and the sun shining brightly. Look at this day--paradise on earth. Blessings. Celebrate!

Road & Stream

"To receive everything,
one must open one's hands and give."
