Bad Homburg vor der Höhe

9/30/2015

We landed mid-morning in Frankfurt, and after catching the train to our Frankfurt hotel to leave our suitcases, we walked back to the train station and rode the short trip to our "hometown" of Bad Homburg.

We had just entered the church to find they were tuning the organ.
The music was beautiful as they played through an entire hymn.
I wish I had thought of recording it earlier, but you can still get the feel of the magnificance of the sound.

"I don't think that bravery is about skin.
Bravery is about a willingness to show emotional need."

Found on my walk.
Loving the love...

"Looking back, there is nothing wrong with that peace, love and equality that the hippies espoused.
In many ways, we have regressed because they were into organic food,
back to nature,
make love not war,
be good to all men,
share and share alike - which is what many are talking about now."
~~Imelda Staunton

Parking between the pears and the asparagus.
We love Four Seasons.

I found these berries on a walk along the Tualatin Hills Park Trail.
I've never seen it in the Midwest, but found it on a website listed as a "poisonous plant of Alaska".

Diana, Mom, and I went out for lunch at Elephant's Delicatessen this afternoon.
With the sun shining and the blue sky, we took advantage of lunch in the Garden Room.
This makes me happy...

"It gives the supreme touch of grandeur to all the main Columbia views, rising at every turn, solitary, majestic, awe-inspiring, the ruling spirit of the landscape."
~~John Muir

Thank you to the pilot as we were descending to land in Portland.
"I'll try to get you a good shot of Mt. Hood with the sun setting."

It's the little things that are the big things...

Lower Cataract Lake Trail

9/2/2015

Summit County, Colorado

We drove through lots of country and Dillon, Colorado to walk the trail around the Lower Cataract Lake.
The topographical map showed 2 miles, but with side hikes through meadows and aspen groves, it was closer to 3 1/2.

A few aspen leaves are turning yellow, but still early for the fall colors.
The good news is that wildflowers are still blooming in the meadows and woods.

Coming out of the woods to head around

We passed several of these structures along ranch fence and I'm sincerely interested in knowing what they are. If you can help a girl out in the "Comments" section, I would really appreciate it!
