I always find it fascinating how sometimes a log will fall perfectly across a river, as to form a perfect bridge to the other side...

This area is quite surreal...a swampy patch with strange dead trees and tiny streams running all over the place.

“Fire and Ice
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.”
― Robert Frost

What a beautiful part of the world you live in, we don't get snow here but did visit a place that did once years back. My hubby got to ski but I wasn't well enough, can you ski there?

Yes there's a ski hill here called "Big White" , it's REALLY overpriced though. I used to ski there and now i cant afford it any more. Miss those days, I really do love skiing. Thanks for checking out my post and commenting!
