An Awesome View of Life

Singing my name... My poor hubby heard me ask "Can you hear the mountains singing my name?  They DO sing my name." at least a dozen times in the few days we were in Wisconsin.  I know some of it is this is where MOST of my ancestor lived for at least a short period of time and I have found such a connection to them by visiting where they lived.  But I find such peace when visiting. (: This is the photo for Thursday, April 16, 2015.

Peace. Tonight my hubby and I headed to downtown Anoka to have ice cream at  Two Scoops .  Awesome little ice cream shop. From there we headed over to the Rum River, found a bench, watched the boats and ate our ice cream cones.  Mine was Butter Pecan and Isaac's was Strawberry.  Both in sugar cones. While sitting there I spotted these chairs about 1/2 mile up the river.  I have many versions of this but I think this one is my favorite mostly as an "as is" photo. I cropped it a bit but didn't do anything else to it.   I don't think you can really see the difference in these two photos unless you click to enlarge them. You can see a bit of the sunset light on the trees in the one above.  The one below is darker and more zoomed in.   

  Peace in the tall pines...
