@Chamging4Best, that's somewhere J and I would love to retire someday. Absolutely beautiful. Count your blessings!

Oh yes, I count my blessings often. I am surrounded by such beauty wherever I look.

Some of my favorite free noise makers around here, @Changing4Best , are the stainless steel mixing bowls while doing dishes, because depending on the amount of water that's in them, they make the coolest sound when you bang them on the metal part of the sink then swoosh the water around right after. (the hubby eventually asked why ours were all banged up...lol...oops...but oh well...they still function as their intended purpose, and then some)

Also, empty plastic containers or cardboard oatmeal containers with the lids on make great "drums", finger tapping on wooden surfaces, empty toilet paper or paper towel rolls with beans or other small items inside and then seal them with duct tape on both ends for a shakey sound maker, or use plastic easter eggs, or whatever else your imagination can create...no need to spend a lot of money when we're always surrounded by sound opportunities. :) The main thing is to have fun with it.

My faithful feathered friend....always arriving when I need heartfelt distraction the most...landing on one of the property markers made this particular visit even more significant, given the timing of what all is taking place with mom and such...thanks, energy consciousness and grateful observation daily...I hear ya', I see ya', I feel ya':

This is a photo of the Snake River, in Idaho, at dusk. I think I like this one because of the silhouette of the tree branches and the dark fields contrasted with the wintery colors of the river and the skyline.

@berlinda, that sunset photo with the Coot ring in the water is beautiful! That needs to be framed and displayed! ?

@Kubash 16, here is my first critter photo I ever took. I hope you like it. It was totally an accidental photo. I just pointed and clicked the camera.

Love it!

A rest stop about 2 hours from where I live.

One of my favorite things to do is decoupaging things onto leftover kitchen/bathroom tiles and either making magnets or display pieces of some sort.

This is one I made a few years ago and framed it out with cut up pieces of an old Aigner brand leather belt, then displayed it on a small tripod purchased at a dollar store.

It reminds me of me, sitting at my favorite mountain stream meditation spot, giving thanks for all the beauty that surrounds and giving thanks to the water, which is life.
