Soon To Be Extinct


The last of the glacial ice bridges on the Williwakas Glacier :-(

Mt. Adams from inside the Williwakas Glacier...actually the ice water dripping down my back was exhilirating;-)

YELLOW

Yellows are the most fun-loving, free-spirited, energetic, and childlike personalities in the aura spectrum. Yellows are wonderful, sensitive, optimistic beings, whose life purpose is to bring joy to people, to have fun, and to help heal the planet.

Yellows can either be very shy and sensitive, or they can be the life of the party. These playful characters have a great sense of humor. They love to laugh and to make others laugh. Yellows believe life is to be enjoyed. They like to live life freely and spontaneously. With a perpetual smile on their face, they remind people to not take themselves or their problems too seriously.

Yellows would prefer not to work at all, unless their work was fun, playful, or creative. They love nature, and often have concerns for the survival of wildlife and the environment. Dogs are very drawn to Yellows and often become their best friends.

Coyotes By Moonlight

I went on what is quickly becoming a routine midnight run through the orchards and countryside outside of town. There was a thin veil of clouds partially obscuring an almost-full moon, cool, but without much wind. About halfway into the orchards, suddenly off to my right just beyond the edge of the trees, a coyote broke into a loud mournful howl, almost right on top of me! Then off to my left another replied and I realized that I was in the middle of a pack hunting out of the hills and enjoying the increased mobility afforded them by the canals being drained. I could feel the instincive urge to challenge them begin to fire in my blood, but I managed to control that and ran on through the night. They went on about their way and continued the hunt as I continued on my run, but the whole encounter did leave me with a little feeeling of exhiliration at the brush with my more primal side...interesting indeed!

Life is measured not by the moments that you breathe, but rather by the moments that take your breath away...and she always leaves me breathless...so my life is measured by how much time I spend with her...*le sigh*

Williwakas Jökull...Eintómur

My Ranger friends Barrett and Michelle shared with me a picture and a challenge before they departed to Colorado for the winter season. They had taken the most beautiful pictures of some fragile ice bridges from within the ice caves of the Williwakas Glacier and Barrett encouraged me to visit them quickly, as the weather is deteriorating and these fragile structures may be lost forever after this season. I, of course, am planning on climbing up there as soon as I can. I thought that we would be going this weekend, but that predictably fell apart and now it looks like I shall be going it alone in another week. Of course, I shall not be there alone as the one I hold closest to my heart will be there with me, as she always is...with me there and with me in my dreams...so now to sleep, perchance to dream:-)

A Week To Remember

It was hectic, frantic at times, dismaying, but in the end, it was one hell of a great week! In the past 5 days my emotions swung completely from one end of the spectrum to the other, I gained a new friend, lost my treasured assistant Trish, and regained the interest of my love. I made impassioned pleas, ranted a bit, schemed, and dreamed with my love. Quite frankly, I am emotionally exhausted, but I have not felt so jazzed in a long, long time. Life can not get any better unless my wildest dreams should come true, but then let's kep a firm grasp on reality, shall we? Of course, ya never know;-)...vertu svalur

Like Brilliant Diamonds in the Cold Winter Sky

I know that I wax a bit poetic on the stars every year about this time, and this year will be no exception! With the arrival of the first crisp, cool fall evenings, I cannot wait to go out after midnight, when the night is the darkest and the world slumbers the deepest, to view the heavens in all of their splendor. It is one of my favorite times of year and I can only wait impatiently for the winter to deepen and my nocturnal wanderings with my stellar brethern to become a nightly ritual...I do love it so!

Dreams Last For So Long…

Soon you will see, you were meant for me and I was meant for you…

Dans, Dans, Dans...O, Já

It was a dark and stormy night…
And all through the house,
Not a creature was stirring,
Not even a…aw heck, you know what I mean, it was raining all day and I was BORED!!! So, I talked Jeremy into hooking up the Dance, Dance Revolution dance pads up to the X-Box and we got un-lazy in a hurry. What a great game, even though he absolutely beat me silly for the first half-hour. I did manage to get close towards the end, but by that time both of us had had enough. That’s okay though, I will get him back tomorrow and show him that his “old man” is not so old after all…yubb

OVAM...Steinunn had better watch out, I may even give her a run for her money on the dance floor before it is over with;-)
