Frontier Dreams: Something better

Something better

Some days I am incredibly grateful for the gift of seeing God's creation through the eye of my camera lens. It's as if I need that view to make me more present (as ironic as that sounds) and snap me out of only seeing the mundane day to day, waiting for something better to come along. Something better isn't coming along because really when you stop and look around you through grateful eyes - what could be better than what is already there?! Life itself is such an incredible gift and I need to remember to savor every last moment and make the most of it. Now if only I could remember that more often.

p.s. I apologize for the random photo size changes lately. I am messing with some things on the blog and honestly I have no idea what I am doing.

What beautiful wide open horizons and views. Magical
(I'd like to add that 6 years ago those views would have slightly horrified me ... where are the mountains and trees?! But 7 years of living on wide opens plains with mountains that play hide and seek in the distance has changed my perception a lot. I LOVE wooded hills and winding valleys with stoney streams that run though them, but those hugs big skies and endless horizons are a whole other kind of amazing.
Also your kids are SO cute!!

Oh Aimee I so relate!! I am starting to appreciate it more though. Especially our night time star gazing - this place was made for that!
If you look closely at the big sky photos you can see some snow covered mountains behind the clouds.

Such a good reminder. We are also living in a state different from where we would like to be. Sometimes it takes work to see the good but it is there if I take the time to look!

I'd love to get my daughter tights like your girls are wearing! Where did you find them? Thanks!

They are actual some Hanna Andersson tights. I am not a fan of spending a lot of money on tights but theirs are thick, well made and last to be passed down. You can usually get some good deals on them, too. I stock up when they have a sale. HTH!

I like the larger photo size, actually. I think you should stick to it.

Just beautiful pics!
And yes, being happy, being in the moment, being satisfied with the now, is something we all need a reminder on! Thanks for perspective!
