#037 Winter Wonderland Up The Dam Road

This picture is taken from up the road, and there is a dam at the end. Hence, up the dam road. I have many wonderful memories there. A great place to go fishing, or take your dog for a walk. A place to enjoy the beauty of nature.

We used to go snowmobiling here, many years ago. There was a cottage that had a wood stove in it where we could hang our cold and wet socks and gloves and hats. And stand around drinking a beer while our limbs thawed out. Awesome memories!

#035 Two Horses Galloping Snow – Winter Solstice

Ruth — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 12:21:02 +0000

The winter solstice occurs exactly when the axial tilt of a planet’s polar hemisphere is farthest away from the star that it orbits. Earth’s maximum axial tilt to our star, the Sun, during a solstice is 23° 26′. More evidently from high latitudes, a hemisphere’s winter solstice occurs on the shortest day and longest night of the year, when the sun’s daily maximum elevation in the sky is the lowest. Since the winter solstice lasts only a moment in time, other terms are often used for the day on which it occurs, such as midwinter, the longest night or the first day of winter.

The seasonal significance of the winter solstice is in the reversal of the gradual lengthening of nights and shortening of days. Depending on the shift of the calendar, the winter solstice usually occurs on December 21 to 23 each year in the Northern Hemisphere, and June 20 to 23 in the Southern Hemisphere.

#033 Love Does Not Mean You Understand Each Other

Ruth — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 11:22:14 +0000

The most awesome feeling in the world is love. The love we share with our life partner. And, when we can keep that love alive till the end of our life it is indeed an achievement.

Love is not the same as understanding…. as the quote from Dorothy Dix states,

“The reason that husbands and wives do not understand each other is because they belong to different sexes”

Oh how true

#032 Arguing? Address The Now AND NOT The Past

In disagreements with loved ones, deal with the current situation. Don’t bring up the past.

How often have we heard this? How hard is it to do? Really hard, right! How often do we argue, and all the previous hurts come to the forefront, and, come right back out again.

I see, well hear, so many arguments between couples that make me cringe. And yet, other couples also argue, and come out on top (and they don’t make me cringe).
It’s the anger. When a person is dealing with anger, it devastates relationships. Awesome is the person that can control and mange their anger!

#031 The Beauty And Benefit Of Harvest Moon

Ruth — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:57:48 +0000

Harvest Moon

The full Moon nearest the autumnal equinox (September 12 this year) is called the Harvest Moon. This Moon, which occurs on Monday, September 12 this year, is not just the full Moon that occurs at the time of the harvest. It is the full Moon that actually helps the harvest by providing more light at the right time than other full Moons do.

In years when the Harvest Moon falls in October, the September full Moon is usually known as the Corn Moon or Barley Moon.

#030 An Awesome-Strange-And Beautiful Place To See

Ruth — Sat, 23 Apr 2011 12:26:45 +0000

Wow, I would never have been able to imagine this place...

Pamukkale, meaning “cotton castle” in Turkish, is a natural site in Denizli Province in southwestern Turkey. The city contains hot springs and travertines, terraces of carbonate minerals left by the flowing water. It is located in Turkey’s Inner Aegean region, in the River Menderes valley, which has a temperate climate for most of the year.

The ancient city of Hierapolis was built on top of the white “castle” which is in total about 2,700 metres (8,860 ft) long, 600 m (1,970 ft) wide and 160 m (525 ft) high. It can be seen from the hills on the opposite side of the valley in the town of Denizli, 20 km away.

Tourism is and has been a major industry. People have bathed in its pools for thousands of years.

#029 Spring Flowers: Natures Own Resurrection.

Ruth — Fri, 22 Apr 2011 12:17:00 +0000

Spring and “springtime” refer to the season, and broadly to ideas of rebirth, renewal and regrowth.

Ah, Springtime … the weather is getting warmer, less clothes to put on when I am going for my walks. The birds are singing , and yes, already at 6 in the morning, and they are happily building new nests. The awesome bright colors of spring are emerging from the cold ground. Flowers, like daffodils and tulips are actually chasing away your winter blues. It is light early, and staying light longer!

ENJOY THIS SPRING-TAKE YOUR DOGS, YOUR KIDS, YOUR SPOUSES AND GO FOR A WALK AND WATCH AS SPRINGTIME… NATURES RESURRECTION, IS COMING ALIVE ALL AROUND YOU.
