What A Week and Critters


"In every walk with nature, one receives far more than he seeks."

John Muir




Minneopa Falls at Minneopa State Park located along Minneopa Creek with two distinct waterfalls, one 8 feet high and the lower falls is nearly 40 feet high.


"In the hush of winter, even the trees seem to be listening 

for spring's first whisper."


Welcome to 

SATURDAY'S CRITTERS


and I'm posting to City Daily Photo





"The giraffe's gaze sees beyond the horizon,
 teaching us to look past the immediate."






"Giraffes show us that it's not about blending in
 but standing out with pride."



"Rebel children, I urge you, fight the turgid slick of conformity with which they seek to smother your glory."

Russell Brand



"Thou art all ice. Thy kindness freezes."

Richard III





Your eyes speak a language that few will ever know.


 



I love these two (Artemis and Athena) both having a completely different character and hearts of gold.




Still missing my Misty girl. 

Sixteen years of life was still too short.


Wisdom comes from winter.




When outside Misty would always be by your side.




Dambo Trolls created by Thomas Dambo and National Parks are my need to visit destinations this year.




Because who doesn't love rugged landscapes and awe-inspiring views?

Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming





Charleston, South Carolina

"Cities everywhere, here or abroad are like people each with their own personalities showing us who and what they are. Then it's our own preference whether we awaken with a mutual love, or friendship, or perhaps we completely dislike the vibe, although happy to have had the experience." Me




Charleston, South Carolina


The Power of Wisdom

"Never dismiss the impossible, conquer it. If the hammer doesn't fit find a new one. Make it impossible to fail.

Listen to your heart it knows how to treat the venerable (whether they are human or animal) it defines who you are. When your heart feels empty this is when your gut instincts seize your attention.


 Lastly this week we honored once again

Our memories about Martin Luther King Jr.


"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." Martin Luther King Jr.


Everybody can be great because Anybody can Serve. You only need a Heart full of Grace. A Soul generated by love." Martin Luther King Jr.




Statue of civil-rights pioneer Martin Luther King Jr. and civil-rights martyr Emmett Till at the Culture Center and Museum in Pueblo, Colorado. The museum was closed and its artifacts placed in storage one year after this photo was taken. September 3, 2015


From me to you 

Remember this, 

Hate only wins when it is fed.

Fear only spreads when we panic.

Division only works when we forget who we are.



 

... stay on course for a better tomorrow.


Coming next if this frozen tundra will lighten up just a bit, I'm headed to Stillwater this weekend before this year's snow sculptures become history. 





Thank you for sharing time with me and gifting me with your comments.

Take good care of you.
