Mountain Retreat
Good morning lake...
Good morning mountains...
I slept soundly last night and woke to the sun shining...
I put the coffee on, grabbed my camera and went for an early walk.
These pictures of the lupines were taken yesterday in the late afternoon sun...
No one can paint like Mother Nature...
After my walk...the morning was productive...
at least as far as cleaning goes...
...I got rid of the cobwebs and put pretty fresh sheets on all the beds.
This afternoon it started raining....and is still raining!
Did a little button therapy, worked on my journal and started a collage...
Hoping for clear skies tomorrow...
If it is I will take a few pictures to share of the few treasures I found on my ride north.
Thank you for your kind comments! I am always grateful to see that you have stopped by.
Since we don't have internet access up here...
...I have been visiting the little local library to post.
Miss you Mr. Flea!
Miss you Starla!
Have a good night!
:)

Wonderful photos
Thanks for sharing :)
Oh! If I awoke to a glassy lake the first thing I would do (after making coffee) is get in my canoe and paddle around with my camera! Just beautiful!

Walking among the flowers camera in hand...a great way to enjoy an afternoon.
Laura, this is such a beautiful, peaceful looking setting. Love the lupines especially! ~ Angela
Lupines are so lovely...the scent is exotic...those vistas beckon to me...I love water.
I await more images of bliss.....
Lovely lupines. Sounds like a wonderful day.
The Lupines are gorgeous! I hope you are enjoying your time there.

Lupines... the most gorgeous flower ever. Makes me miss my trips to Maine....
How are your temps up there now?
Enjoy the decadence of alone-ness. :)

In California, Lupines only come in yellow and blue - beautiful to see pink growing wild. Nice to have some alone time.
Lovely! Looks like my neck of the woods -- Maine or NH, perhaps?
those lupins are beautiful! I adore the flowers of summer~

So very pretty! Enjoy your quiet time!!
I've been away from my computer so have been scrolling through your recent posts tonight to catch up. I envy your quiet little escape. What a beautiful place to spend time. Cleaning and creating ~ hope there is more of the creating. LOL ~ Sarah

Ah,lupines! Laura, have you ever read "The Lupine Lady"? It is one my my fave children's books. You might want to check at the library, if you haven't read it. I think it's a treat!
Hugs,
Suz
Hi Laura
I love the feeling coming from your mountain retreat post. Relaxation, peace and beauy! All those lupins, what a striking site they must be.
I hope that the time by yourself is giving you inspiration and rest.
I'd love to be in your shoes right now ;-)
Enjoy every minute of it!
Take care

Bought my first lupine this year.
This makes me want more....more....more.
Beautiful pictures, compliments of Mother Nature! Love all of the colors and to think you are seeing all of this first-hand! Enjoy! HUGS!
The lake looks so calm and serene, how very soothing for the soul.
Oh you live in such fine area.......love it.
So mystic such fine colours......

You lucky thing! beautiful photos, beautiful place.
Sounds and looks like a bit of heaven to me, Laura. Your lake is SO beautiful. What lovely lupines, too.
such beauty! I absolutely love the lupines, don't think I've ever seen so many in one place before :)
Laura, what a beautiful spot you have there. Gosh, I love lupines-they are so stately and beautiful. Your lake looks positively dreamy too. I'd have to stick my kayak in and take a morning paddle. Have a wonderful time!
Sherry
Ooooo... what a lovely place. It looks so magical! Hope the rain has stopped so you can go play outside. ^-^
Gorgeous! And couldn't we all use a little retreat like that right now?
Thanks for sharing your lovely photos!
Have a wonderful weekend,
Rosemary
If only we could all have lupins like that...must be the colder climate I guess. The lakehouse is a magical place. Enjoy your alone time!
