Where others come for vacation...
where others come for vacation ...

it's not just me hiking up to the village to catch some Sun

these goats are also basking in the luscious Morning Sun

6.5 Km and 1.5 hours later, I'm back home to the smell of fresh bread

Thank you Lukas for the simple yet delicious spread tongue-out

Read more: A lamp for you Nellie -- Oct 13It's now two weeks since you vanished without a trace,

my wet palms glide on your empty basket with grace,

a bit of your fur sticking to my hand,

is your only souvenir in this house

a tibetan Tatanka i fill with your fur left behind,

along with your favorite toy mouse...

What has Nature created in its underground canvas?

As i don on my imaginative Hat,

it's almost sad to take it to the chopping Mat...cry

 

Read more: Catching some Sun atop Stanserhorn -- Oct 10The fiery foursome from Beckenried ask me if i'd like to join them to catch some Sun. 

Sun and views are always a delight, soon i find myself picking up the ladies in Beckenried as we drive to Stans.

From the historic funicular wooden cable car to the ultra modern - Topless Cabrio, feeling the Sun and the Wind in our faces, within some twenty odd minutes we're transported atop Mt. Stanserhorn (1898 m.a.s.l)

It's my first outing since Nellie has moved on, and initially i see her everywhere i look...

Slowly the fog clears and we're blessed with views of Snow capped alpine peaks to Lakes to Meadows, stretching out to infinity in every direction.

Little by little, the Sunshine brings me back to the here and now.. to these kind ladies who asked me out, to the trail ahead of us, to the distant cow-bells, to the sighting of the Kite, the marmots, wild goats et al..
