NATURE

There is something soothing to the soul about seeing a beautiful sunrise. I've had my head down working full steam ahead and needed to stop, look around and take a deep breath.

Last Tuesday I got up super early and was driving up to my favorite ski hill, Crystal Mountain, when I was happily surprised with an amazing sunrise. There was a crispness in the air, snow everywhere and Mt. Rainier along with the Cascades were backlit with orange. Ah.

I was driving along, grabbed my camera and took this picture. I didn't think it would come out, as it's through the window of my car. But my trusty Canon Powershoot delivered.

I had forgotten how amazing and good for my well-being a day in the mountains is. I've now got three days of riding in. My back hurts worse than it has since I broke it a couple years ago. Time to get the core back in shape.

Hope you all had a Happy Holidays, took a deep breath, and recharged the batteries.
