Top of the Ridge

Greetings from Taos… Wish you were here!

View from the top of Kachina Peak where we hiked up to the Ridge with skies on back to 12,481 feet and skied down in powdery cement!

But we did it!

Years ago in my early twenties I lived in Paris and Marseille. I studied and learned French and have not used it much since. Twenty years after spending a summer in Marseille I went back for the first time and I was shocked how much has changed. France will always be a special part of my life and I am truly looking forward to taking my 11-year-old daughter to the City of Light this June. I am hoping that she too falls in love with Paris and with travel. It will be an epic trip first with my mother, sister, my daughter and niece in London, Lille and Paris. Then my husband and son will meet us in Germany and we will head to the mountains of Austria. We leave in less than two months! ✨🌟✨🌟

Sometimes I forget that beauty surrounds me and is even right outside my back door. As much as I long to travel, even my own home state is serenely beautiful. Known as the land of lakes, Minnesota has over 10,000 of them such as this one up on Ely near the border of Canada. As I try to remain patient and hope that our snow melts and spring arrives, I hold on to the promise of the beauty of spring and summer in Minnesota.

Since we just had a record snowstorm and blizzard here in Minneapolis and we are covered in over a foot of snow in mid-April, I needed some inspiration that someday we will have spring and spring flowers. Until then I will call this season “Sprinter”.

There is something absolutely magical about being above the clouds, and there is no place better place to get such an out of this world view of the ever changing colors and light at sunset than at Shira Camp on Kilimanjaro. Shira Camp lies high above the tree line at 12,600 ft (3840 m) affording awe-inspiring views of the cloud-covered forest below. It is by far one of the most beautiful camps on the entire climb. I am longing to go back. Snapped July 2015.

Since Spring seems to be a very long way off here in unseasonably cold and snowy Minnesota, I decided to create my own magic. This is a colorful variation of a photo I took three years ago while riding a small boat off the shores of Granada, Nicaragua at sunset. I hired a tour of Las Isletas -a series of islands within the lake- and captured this beautiful sunset. I added some sparkle to it to create this image. I thought it was quite fun! ✨🌟✨🌟✨🌟✨Here is to adding more magic and sparkle in your life!
