Yesterday we decided to visit Fallen Leaf Lake, which we hadn’t in a while, for a simple hike and woodsy mission.

We were on the look out for some wood to create a special sculpture, as well as to take in some nature goodness.

The lake was still and mysterious looking, but no snow except in little patches in the woods and on the mountain tops.

It’s definitely continued to be a mild winter here, but always beautiful and surprising.

It’s been fun having variety where we can choose to ski, snow shoe, hike with crampons, or simply hike – all depending on where and what altitude we decide to venture in at any given moment.

Speaking of wood sculptures, we made a lot of fun discoveries exhibiting nature’s fine job as an artist.

This included beaver’s work and a natural turkey vulture or condor work of art, as this Faery explored the forest’s gifts.

We then stumbled upon this mega magickal tree.

It was love at first sight.

Only nature knows truly how to touch our hearts in the deepest of ways.

Faery bliss abound with this incredible tree that had two portals in it.

Love the energy coming off of it. I found this photo on my camera that “randomly” showed up when I was taking a photo of the side portal.

Some of the tree’s energy showed up glowing red and red violet.

Can you see?

Rich, rooted, and regal.

Such life force burning even after having gone through the fire.

Proof we can thrive even when burned and challenged.

Love sharing nature’s magick with you. We’ll see what’s in store today, as we head out on another hike.

Enjoy this beautiful day and get outside!
