this picture came up on my Facebook memories a few days ago…

it was a reminder of the frightening ride we had on the chairlift at Mount Washington eleven years ago…

we sat at the bottom of the chairlift for a long time… both of us had a fear of heights… but we decided to do it…

we got on the lift and started up, but the person who helped us didn’t put the bar down…

I felt so scared that I may have bent the side and back bars on the chair, lol… when we came down they were careful to make sure all the safety features were in place…

we were proud of one another;-)…

this photo came up too…

it was from a few years ago when my kids tried to get me up on a wakeboard…

we tried for what felt like hours to do it… one was in the water with me and one was driving the boat carefully… it just never happened…

but, once again, I was pleased that I had taken the chance and tried new things, lol…

my beloved would have laughed and laughed, although he didn’t love being on the water…

sundogs…

spent some time recently considering what makes things special…

an event, a workplace, a person, a view…

and how do we make them special… 

is it being in the right place at the right time… is it an aura they produce… is it just being open to hear/see/feel…

last night I noticed a sundog in the sky which is very odd at this time of the year… usually they are visible when it is very cold, but after a little research I discovered this:

Sundogs can and do occur worldwide and during all seasons, but they are most common during winter months when the sun is low in the sky and ice crystals are more common. All that’s needed for a sun dog to form are cirrus or cirrostratus clouds. Only these clouds are cold enough to be made of the plate-shaped ice crystals we mentioned above. The sun dog occurs when sunlight is refracted off of these crystals…

it is just over the tree canopy to the left of the sun in this picture… 

what made me look out the window at just that moment… and actually see the tiny version of a rainbow…

chance?
