3 short stories

 story #1

With the sun rising earlier since the time change, I don't have to wait forever to get out the door, hit the secondary highway then begin hiking to be in place as the day dawns by lighting up the sky.  The panorama photo shows my view as I began to descend into the valley at Glenbow Ranch. The Bow River was calling me so that's where I aimed.  There were only a few slices of ice, what was lacking in quantity made up for in quality. With the sun well above the horizon, I noticed the day old Super Beaver Moon still shone bright as seen in the left middle photo. It was a beautiful morning to immerse myself in the sunrise while the deer were immersing themselves in searching for breakfast.   

story #2

The third knitted slipper is complete which means I now have a pair.  If you have been following along for a couple of months then you know the first slipper was a disaster.  The second one which is to the left turned out quite good, the third slipper is perfect. What's that saying "third time's a charm!" I'm in a groove again and ready to start another knitting project.  

story #3

After sharing a photo in my last blog post of the Eaglet I painted, I decided I can do better than that!  I can paint a version that is more realistic yet still comical in a way.  So, this painting is better than the last one.  As a reference, I used a photo I took of the Inglewood Eaglet I saw from a very far distance this past May. After painting the Eaglet, the idea of painting Bald Eagle's eggs came to mind.  As I was painting the eggs, yet another idea came to mind. These two paintings may be the beginning of something much bigger. I need to come up with a name for this Eaglet! My Name is_____!
