Sound footing
It’s getting pretty blustery here in the Bogs today. Winter is returning. The cold and snow won’t be staying long. The predictions are that we will be back in the 50s by Monday or Tuesday. With a high wind advisory in affect, Winter’s reappearance is going to be a bit bumpy.
Lake Pippen (from Towner's Woods)
Life just got fairly busy for me this week, and the weekend is looking very full.
Although it’s not a play kind of weekend we have scheduled, hopefully we’ll find a little time for play. Or at least some moments of relaxation.
Whatever your plans for the weekend, wishing you some moments of play and relaxation.
As you can tell from the shortness of this post, I’m somewhat rushed today. Taking a few moments to look at the lake and smile about the hike was just the break I needed. Thanks for dropping by and taking a short break with me. Have a great weekend!
Life in the Bogs 
Oh my my .. I keep waiting for the tree in the opening pic to start walking and engulfing people … thus hope I don’t have nightmares.
lol, Frank! The tree is well rooted. I don’t think it will be walking anywhere, not even in your nightmares. 🙂
That first image of the tree is excellent, love it.
Thank you, Geoffrey. And thanks so much for stopping by and commenting. I appreciate it. 🙂
Lovely, especially sound footing.
Ditto on the weekend. 🙂
Thank you, Sallyann. 🙂
Amazing tree picture! We’ve been in the low 80’s today, very unseasonable. But a front is coming in right now with high winds and it will plunge our temps into the forties. Quite a drop!
Thank you, Susan. 🙂
80s!! Wow. That’s more than warm. A drop to the 40s would be hard to take after that kind of heat.
However did you get the ent in the first photo to pose so sweetly for you?!
Oh, Ents and I are great friends, Cyndi. I have quite a few pictures of them. Some of them really like to ham it up for the camera. 🙂
have a great weekend you too!!!!
Thanks, Ellen. 🙂
Oh, my,it does look like feet of some kind:) Have a busy but hopefully not to stressful weekend!!
Thank you, Smidge. 🙂
Love the sound footing photo, Robin. It looks like there is a little tree hugger peering out from in between the tree legs.
The title of your post could describe my weekend as well. It’s tax season here. A busy time of year.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend. 🙂
Thank you, Marianne. I hope your weekend wasn’t all work and no play. 🙂
Oh I like ‘sound footing’… I want to see what the rest of ‘him’ looks like! Jane
Thanks, Jane. It just so happens I did take a photo of the rest of “him.” I’ll post it soon. 🙂
that first image is really strong, love it!
Thank you, Derrick. 🙂
More lovely photos, especially the first which really made me smile.
Thank you, Libby. 🙂
Hi Robin! What rhythms of life we have…swamped in busy-ness, and then lost in the timelessness of a hike or yoga pose. Hope you find moments of quiet in your weekend movement. P.S. Loved the first photo “Sound Footing”. It made me feel sound and rooted.
Thank you so much, Kathy. 🙂
I almost titled that one “Tree Pose.”
Thank you for reviving the grandeur of nature! 🙂

You’re welcome, Subhan. I’m so glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for stopping by. 🙂
No worries! Keep posting stuff like this! I’d be happy to read it.. 🙂
My, look at your following! Although I shouldn’t be surprised, because your writing here is always so lovely and refreshing. 🙂 I hope you found time for some fun this weekend.
This is a beautiful lake. I’m sorry I don’t keep up well these days. Life is hectic!
Nickie: No apologies necessary. Remember the No Apologies Club? 😀 I am sure your life is pretty full right now. Enjoy it. 🙂
I do remember that club! LOL!
Funny how that name, Swamped, really does trigger the sense that those arboreal feet are stuck in muck! Nice shot.
Thanks, OmbudsBen. 🙂
The first photo looks like two dinosaur feet standing together. Excellent photos here. I really like them.
Thank you so much, Scriptor Obscura. And thanks so much for dropping by and commenting. I appreciate it. 🙂
