Autumn in Yellowstone

Shannon Heckler made a recent trip to Yellowstone and took these phenomenal photos. I just HAVE to share them with you. We are returning home from Switzerland to Montana this week. We live just an hour from these beautiful scenes and animals. Don’t you love them? Thank you, Shannon, for sharing!!

What a magnificent rack on that animal. A buck? Don’t get too close! They are dangerous!

Have you ever visited Yellowstone in Autumn? This is my first … thank you for sharing, Shannon.

Love,

JanBeek

A Night Out

So nice to be able to treat ourselves to a nice dinner every now & then. Continental Divide is guaranteed to satisfy. Wish you could have joined us‼️

Great atmosphere. Excellent wait staff. We love having Deb as our waitress!

Beautiful autumn leaves are destined to turn brown and fall off this weekend. Predicted to have 4” of snow on Sunday. I wish autumn lasted as long as winter does around here!

I wish our geraniums can survive the snow. But good luck!

It was a great night out. I hope you can treat yourself to a night out soon, too!

Love, JanBeek

Memorable Trail Rides

Memorable trail rides
Fill Autumn with delight
Mountain top’s a site
Great to behold!

We took TazE along
He sure loved going for rides
Following side-by-sides
Meeting with friends

Picnic in October
High up in the mountains
Far from drinking fountains
Brought our supplies

Our friends followed up close
We all enjoyed the sites
Trees were a yellow bright
Memorable

Awesome Autumn

It’s Awesome Autumn
Clear skies and colorful leaves
My favorite season

Golden autumn leaves swirling in sunlit woodland

Dancing in the breeze
Joy-filled rustling Autumn
It’s God’s gift to us

Soon the colors fade
Giving way to winter’s snow
Celebrate the now

Sending love your way,
JanBeek

Nod

Give a nod to Autumn 🍂

The bush outside my window announces that gorgeous season.

We kayaked to this lake for many a beautiful mile.

Give a nod to the fall season in Switzerland for a reason.

Soon those leaves will fall into a pile.

Love our 4 Seasons!

Change

“Change is a powerful, sacred force… The transitioning landscape is a testament to the Creator’s steady hand in a chaotic world.” (A quote from today’s devotional in These Days)

The snow capped mountains soon give way to barren mountain tops … but each season has a beauty of its own.

“The environment is a living sanctuary…”

In sunshine or rain, give thanks for the natural world’s beauty.

“The psalmists frequently personify the natural world, giving mountains, forests and seas anthropomorphic attributes…”

The hills were singing 🎵

The Lord reminds us we are new every morning! Embrace change!

Happy Autumn to you, my friends. Embrace the day. May the majesty of the natural world remind us all that God is in control. Breathe deeply in the holy refuge of creation.
