My Prolific Moments With Nature
Nature is prolific, take time to observe, listen and learn.
VASTNESS
One must cross the immensity ocean of uncertainty, before they climb the summits in their lives.
MISCONSEPTION️
Sometimes the mounts right before us are piles made from clearing a way to move forward. Let’s not treat them as barriers.
DISTRACTIONS
Before distractions bloom, we should take a good look at what’s before us. Let’s not overlook the fact that, we just might be able to move right or left to avoid the distraction all together. Yes, it could be that simple.
RESTORING HOPE
Day’s duty flees aspiration. Sunset diminishes failure. Moments reflect past lessons. Faith restores tomorrow’s hope. Night gives a soul much-needed restoration.
SOUL THIEF
A chilling wind called my name as it gently swayed the golden grass.
My soul drifted to the grassy side while my body stood on an icy road.
In no time, my body joined my soul and I whispered, “Alaska, why do you try to steal my soul? I’m already yours.”
Glimmering Glee
BACK ON MARCH 30 – It was a beautiful sunny day in Anchorage, Alaska and all I wanted was to feel the sun’s warmth as the chilled air-cooled my face.
Believe me, on this day, this trail was busy with walkers, bikers and cross-country skiers. Oh, I almost forgot, also man’s best friend, doggies. It was safe, yet I remain alert.
The peace and tranquility in the Alaska’s outdoors is addicting. I can’t ever get enough. On this day, I couldn’t wait to find a place to lose myself in. Mentally speaking.
The beauty this trail revealed created bubbles of happiness inside me. If I could have, I would have giggled as I twirled. I would have spun until the ground would have become unstable.
But, I didn’t.
I did feel drunk from the purest blue sky, that I thought I heard the spread out tree arms clap faster and faster as if to encourage me to go ahead spin and set my soul free. 
Even though I only imagined, my soul did become filled with glee from the glimmering snow. I felt very much like a child as I roamed, photograph and dreamed by myself, but never once did I feel alone.
I hope you enjoyed this place like I did.
Explore With Me
🔹️LOOK UP
If you follow the stream of sunlight, it will lead you to a black, boar bear (video). He’s sunbathing out of his den. Taken at Campbell Airstrip trails in Anchorage, Alaska on 3-25-18.
Knowing I would be having this Sunday afternoon to myself, (which meant find a place for pictures) I wondered, when do bears wake up. Well, the answer would be facing me soon enough, up a tree.
I dropped my husband at his martial arts training and off I went in search of a spot with people. And, I found one. Thinking it was safe, I got out of the car and about to go for a walk, but a Filipino lady with a camera and a huge lens caught my attention. After small talk about photography she said, “Bear there.” I looked every where, but I couldn’t find the bear.
I asked, “Where?”
She said, “There.”
After the fourth time of me looking for a bear and asking her where, she pointed up to the tree and said with a chuckle “There. You not see?”
It was at that point that the huge male bear popped into my view. He was up the tree sun bathing (video) right outside his den.
The lady then said, “Go. Around tree and see. I went already.”
Which I quickly responded, “No thank you. I’m staying right here close to my car.”
Since I used my cell phone for pictures and chose life instead of being lunch, these are the best photos I took.
It’s always good to remember to look up, but especially now that the bears are waking. I’ve heard bears can climb up trees and seen videos, but never witness one live, until this day. This bear sat about thirty above the snowy ground. A female bear had dug a four to five feet whole inside the tree and made it their winter home last year.
Well, I won’t be exploring on this trip, since I was alone. Instead, I stayed and watched the bear with other photographers and curious people.
Some photographers did go around to the tree. I would say if the tree fell, the bear would probably be in their faces.
From walking around, not anywhere close to the pros, I learned to stay on the walked path. After the first new step I created and snow above my knee, I decided to place my foot on someone else’s footprint.
My courage and desire for a better picture grew. I took my digital camera and my phone and followed the path to the photographers, took photos, recorded, then I made my way back to the car.
The bear changed position and watched me leave. I said my goodbyes and put my nice camera away, started the car, but I didn’t leave after all.
As I buckled up myself to drive off, I saw the photographers running. I looked over to the tree, got my phone, unbuckled, opened the door and started recoding (video) and snapping pictures. Well, the bear came down took care of business, and ate some snow, took a short sprint, then went back up.
Without being a bit frantic, I drove away to tell this story.
Honestly, I was on cloud nine. Because, I was so glad and thankful that this spot caught my eye and I stopped to take pictures. There is definitely something wrong with me for I wasn’t afraid, but I was cautious. Anyway, I can actually say I saw a bear squat in the woods. 
🤣
Never ever do I ever want to be this close to a bear again, unless there are several photographers between the bear and me.
I sure do hope you enjoyed my adventure even though we didn’t really explored the woods, next time.

Why? I Don’t Know
I’m not sure why tree trunks have captivated me recently.
Maybe, because of their glistening colors at sunset.
Or maybe, they impress me on how they endured the harsh winter weather.
What they needed to lose, their outer skin, and weak branches, were for them to be able to expand and grow.
Besides the fallen branches were not strong enough to endure the snow, ice and winds.
Hum . . . maybe that’s why I experience losses this past season of life.
I need to let go and grow.
Well, I’m ready to expand my horizon and shine with a smile when the sunsets come.
With God’s help, I will carry on.
Prayers Are Footprints
PRAYERS FROM FRIENDS AND LOVE ONES ARE INVISIBLE STEPS ON THE TRAIL OF LIFE WHICH WE ARE ABOUT TO WALK ON.
AMONG THEM, IS A SET OF STEPS AHEAD OF THE PRAYERS, THEY BELONG TO JESUS THE LORD. FOR HE WENT AHEAD OF US TO PREPARE WHAT WE NEED.
CAN WE TRUST HIM WHEN HE’LL SAY, “IT’S TIME, COME?”
Where I Feel Total Freedom
Alaska, I’ve fallen in love with your splendor and the souls who call you home.
And to think, I’ve never wanted to set foot on your land.
Oh, how naive I was about you.
Only God knew, you and those who i met would be good for me.
The first time my eyes set sight on Alaska’s mountains my soul grew wings and an invisible part of me reveal herself to me as she became free.
While I’m out among Alaska’s nature, I exist, I truly exist. It’s as if I’ve been submerged in water most of my life, holding my breath and only allowed to surface one or twice a month. But here, I can breathe normal all the time. Like, I belong here. No longer do I come out to take a quick breath and go back inside of myself. I can stay out and live like I was created to live.
Now, every time I fly into Anchorage, I feel as if I’m coming home. Yet, I’ve never lived anywhere in the state of Alaska.
My heart, my soul and my mind are in perfect harmony when I’m here. If only, I could stay, I would finally not only see the whole me, but be totally free.
Every time the plane descends for a landing, I get trigger happy and the collection of photos begin. Then I become exuberant, for I know what awaits me once I’m out of the plane and in nature, FREEDOM!!!
The Magic of New Day
THE MAGIC OF A NEW DAY
°
Days ago, troubles lingered on my mind like stormy dark clouds.
Slowly I drew the curtains opened not wanting morning to come.
Not knowing the view had more than a scene to reveal to me.
Morning sun rose like a golden ocean of possibilities behind leafless trees of brokenness.
Heavy, purple winter clouds hung above the sea of goodness keeping life from reaching me
Angelic cloud spread across the stormy clouds allowing the blue sky to fill my heart with heavenly hope.
God’s promises are new every morning and ours should be too.
When Evening Comes
When evening enters
A majestic view
Not one sound it makes
While the scene becomes blue
Colors become darker
And the air much colder
Reminding night approaches
Behind one’s shoulder
The coat is zipped
and a sigh is released
For the tranquil blue
whispers, it’s time to leave
Can You Guess What It is?
Out of this world beauty created by an element of our world. 
Frozen water captured colors and shadows creating a reflecting, ghostly image. 
I often feel like this branch, reaching out to escape from hardships, but I too am too late.
Frozen water on the side of a mountain became a piece of art like I’ve never seen before.
Alaska just keep leaving me in wonder of its beauty and hungry for more.
Exploring the world I live in blows my mind to a world I could never imagine. 
How, just exactly how did this happened? I would have loved to have seen this in action. Wouldn’t you?
Alaska, you have not only captured my heart but my interest of leaning more of your wonders.
