Day 2-Take a long distance picture

 A good friend pointed out that I hadn't given any instructions on what to do once she went outside and took a picture. Oops, sorry. So here it is in 4 steps:
1. read the days newsletter and photo prompt.
2. go outside
3. take picture
4. upload your picture to your facebook and Instagram with #outdoorseveryday
see, so easy and so fun.

Today's  picture is of the mountain I spent my childhood looking at. As I walked around the park, and looked up on the mountain, I reflected on how my outlook in life had been affected by looking out at the beauty of this mountain*. I have always been a person who needs a lot of space-I don't like walls, I don't like closed doors, pretty much I resist restrictions in any form.
Perhaps it all started looking up at the wild woods I spent my childhood exploring.

Until tomorrow-,
Have an outdoorsy day.

*okay-it may be a big hill, but it was a mountain to us.

My Winter Walks

My intention was to get some exercise, which meant covering some distance at a reasonable pace. My intention is important, as it affects many other choices: type of shoes, clothing, walking poles, water, binoculars, camera etc.

Good For You Momma

 After stopping for the dogs to poop and stopping to change Jett’s diaper (twice) we were off!! We walked through a sunny meadow, climbed up the frozen cascades and returned via a side trail that skirted the riverbank. Bliss.
