A few weeks ago we discovered a brown mammal swimming along the edge of a small lake (?), but we were not sure what it was. This week we found the tell-tale evidence of a beaver being present. Note the gnaw marks in the close up photo here . . .

The "Almost" Labyrinth
October 12, 2010
Colorado
by Dawn NicDarrah

I need for either the neighbors to move their fence about a foot or two or I need to drop it down a foot closer to the stones . . . I was so close to having a wood chip labyrinth! I'll keep trying!

So much to discover! I might be able to recognize that this is an oak tree with an acorn, but I still have no idea what kind of Oak this is . . .

The view from our front porch . . . it calls to us each evening, just before sunset, asking us to witness the ever changing patterns presented . . . from brooding clouds to vibrant sunsets and pale pink and purple twilight . . . the hills rest just on the edge of viewing and the song of the west is whispered on the breeze . . . if not for those power-lines it would be perfect view.

Autumn Island

For an afternoon walk we discovered a little park with a pond (although they call it a 'lake') that had this lovely little island in the center displaying golden autumn colors . . . backed by the looming clouds, the scene just called for attention.

This was my first official Goddess figure, Source, created by Phillipa Bowers in Glastonbury. She remains at the center of my altar, a reminder for me to look within, to bring light to the shadows and to trust my intuition.

May have posted this one already but wanted to post again . . . this photo of me drawing out a labyrinth in the sand was taken by my daughter and it is currently published in the revised and newly released edition of Avalon Within by Jhenah Telyndru.
