The gate through the year

Late spring

Late summer, first signs of fall.

First winter snow.

Vanishing lake

Drought year, the lake slowly vanishing

No fishing today.

This is not suppose to be a field but lake bottom.

It's hard to see but in the middle just below the trees in one of the boat ramps high and dry.

Clouds continued.

Often I drive through the clouds each morning.

Everyday there are interesting cloud formations to see.

Fall colors

Pretty incredible views.  

A few views from the road

Just a few of the cool sights to see from the road.  Of course I stopped the car and walked the few feet to the edge of the road to take these pictures.

Cool but unusual sights around town

Loved this green truck by the red barn.

Great looking fence, by the way the person in the foreground is Flat Stanley riding along with me.

Signs

Early spring views.

I got a bit behind in showing the seasons changing.  This picture was taken in early June of a newly planted field.

Everything in early June was beautiful and green.

Share the road

Every day from spring thru fall--watch out!

There are bikers,

joggers, race events (Ragnar pictured),

 large construction traffic, and all types of RV to watch out for.

Spring flowers

I am late posting these pictures.  The flowers bloomed beautifuly in May and early June.
These are only a few that I took, the flowers were wonderful.

Blue flax, ahh beautiful spring.

Rainy Day

Drought year.

What the snow cover should look like in early May.

This year's snow. 

Long dry summer ahead.

Spring

One day I decided that I needed to work on my attitude about my commute.  My job was transfer to a rural location and my commute went from 10 minutes to 35 minutes.  So after 15 months and one slide off I developed a plan.  Stop the car and appreciate the view, to look for the beauty that I pass twice a day.  So here goes.
