Alpine wildflower

I found these beauties along the Tour de la Vanoise in the French Alps. They appear to be some kind of thistle flower past its prime. I fell in love with their exotic, spindly look.

Set a sail leaving Madeline Island after a lovely dive in the lake and dinner of fresh whitefish. We visited three of the Apostle Islands- Raspberry, Stockton and Madeline. No bears, a trio of wild turkeys and lots of blue sky. Pure bliss!

Spent a long weekend sailing in the Apostle Islands with my neighbors who have a wonderful sailboat. I have never been on a sailing trip before and it was amazing. The Apostle Islands are stunning and so remote. We spent the night anchored at Stockton Island and enjoyed swimming, kayaking and hiking. I took this photo while kayaking at sunset while the kids swam off the boat. It is amazing that so much rugged beauty lies not far from my home.

Life is a journey not a destination. I’ve struggled with this concept so much over the decades especially in times of unsettled skies. The last four months have been very difficult and sometimes I think people only see the highs of life like all the exciting travels. Yes me and my kids did go to Europe for three weeks however I would trade all of that for my husband to not be in so much back pain. We are going on four months now and it has been very challenging to see him in pain and also to be the sole caregiver. I’m thinking if the lessons I’ve learned through this rough patch. Most of all is to be grateful for every day and for love. Health, happiness and love are the most important ingredients. No money can ever buy your health. It can help pay the bills but not cure you. ✨🌟✨So these are my words of wisdom. ✨🌟✨PS this is my daughter as we did a walk in Austria last month. 🙏

I will always love mountains and lakes. I have grown up in a state that has over 10,000 lakes and water always calms me. Mountains I love to climb and seek when I need solace. Austria has the perfect combination of glorious high alpine mountains and lakes. I fell in love with the beauty there. This photo was taken last month when we were in the lakes district of Austria near Hallstatt. Oh how I long to go back!

Life has been a bit complicated and chaotic these past few months so I have taken time to pause and slow down. To express gratitude for the beauty of each and every day. I captured this photo of my daughter in Schwangau as the sun began to set across the countryside. I love how the rays of light hit her hair giving her an sweet, angelic innocent look. Oh childhood is so precious. I am so grateful for my time with my children.
