Yesterday I decided it was time for a walk with God in the woods...we talked mostly about trees and leaves and changes. As I sat and watched the water of the North Fork of the Lewis river rush by, we talked about growth and movement....and with a cool breeze blowing on my cheek, God reminded me that I'm not alone. As much as I like the song, I can't sing with Greenday that my shadow is all that walks beside me...it's just not true.

Just got back from a trip to northern Idaho.
My husband went to work & I relaxed by looking for bears!!!
If you look closely in the next few photos you might spot one....ok, maybe not!! One had scrambled up the slope right next to the car and disappeared into the bushes above us. I have a bruise from leaning forward and yelling stop, it's a bear and my husband slamming on the brakes...I missed most of the show trying to get out of my seatbelt!!!
I'll try and get some good photos of the trip posted on my Adventures in Wa site tomorrow.
Later in the day we spotted another crossing the road and running across this river....no more seat belt problems but I swear my husband wouldn't stop the car for me to get out...and I was trying!!! AHHHH........bears, I get too excited to think about getting the camera out!!
On Monday I had the car while he worked and drove up to the north end of Priest Lake hoping to see a grizzly....sure was getting lucky with the black bears and thought maybe the time was right. No such luck....but a moose and her baby walked by me as I sat at a picnic table writing. I was too shocked to get a photo when they where close ....you can see their bodies in this picture...ok, well...I can see them!! I followed after them for a bit trying to get a better shot but they quickly and quietly disappeared in the woods. It really was amazing how such large animals could be so quiet!! Needless to say my concentration was broken and I did no more writing!!!
The highlight on my way out was seeing a young mountain lion....didn't even try to get the camera out but just enjoyed the beauty of the moment as it crossed the road in front of me.

Yesterday my father-in-law lost his battle with cancer.
He had fought hard for over 6yrs ....this is the first of our parents to go and it is a strange feeling.
We are heading to NC tomorrow then up to Ohio for the service. Don't know how much time I'll get to check in on you guys....like I'm very good at that right now anyways!!!
But at least for the next couple of weeks I won't be around much.
