Harvest Moon

 Watching the September harvest moon rise over the hills from a tiny sliver to round fullness.

 "When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him?"  Psalm 8:3,4.

 

Psalm 104
1 Praise the Lord, my soul.
Lord my God, you are very great;
    you are clothed with splendor and majesty.
2 The Lord wraps himself in light as with a garment;
    he stretches out the heavens like a tent
3 and lays the beams of his upper chambers on their waters.
He makes the clouds his chariot
    and rides on the wings of the wind.
4 He makes winds his messengers,[a]
    flames of fire his servants.
5 He set the earth on its foundations;
    it can never be moved.
 19 He made the moon to mark the seasons,
    and the sun knows when to go down.


24 How many are your works, Lord!
    In wisdom you made them all;
    the earth is full of your creatures.
25 There is the sea, vast and spacious,
    teeming with creatures beyond number—
    living things both large and small.
31 May the glory of the Lord endure forever;
    may the Lord rejoice in his works—
32 he who looks at the earth, and it trembles,
    who touches the mountains, and they smoke.
33 I will sing to the Lord all my life;
    I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.
34 May my meditation be pleasing to him,
    as I rejoice in the Lord.


 "When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him?"  Psalm 8:3,4.

Guam 2020: Post 26 - Humatak Heritage Village

Monday was President's Day, and Rob had the day off from work.  I'm so glad because I wasn't feeling sick at all.  We decided to drive around the southern half of the island.  Last time we tried to do this, it was a very raining day, but today the weather was perfect, sunny and warm with fluffy white clouds. Our first stop was Umatac, an interesting village full of history.  In the local language, it is spelled Humatak.  Ferdinand Magellan and his sailors brought first European contact to the island in 1521.  It is thought they landed in Umatac Bay, but I just learned in further reading that the site is disputed, and might have been further north.  I wish I could say that this is a good story, but it leaves me very disturbed.  There was thievery, fighting, killing and burning of the settlement, not so different from stories of first visits in other places around the world.  It wasn't mentioned in the article, but I'm guessing that the...

Wooden Bridge to a Huckleberry Trail called Mocus Point

You might be anticipating photos of the wildflowers of the Beartooth.  Those are coming, but first before we got there we had to drive through Idaho.  The most direct route follows the Lochsa River from Lewiston, ID to Missoula, MT along Highway 12, also known as the Northwest Passage Scenic Byway, because Lewis and Clark followed this route back home.  If you you haven't driven that road before, I definitely recommend it for your next road trip.  Here is a link to a publication about the road.   http://npshistory.com/publications/usfs/region/1/nez-perce/hwy-12.pdf I think there are 5 wooden suspension bridges over the Lochsa that is for foot and pack animal traffic only and crosses over to a trail. The one we stopped at is at mile post 143.  Sometime long ago, when my kids were little, we stopped there and I remember William taking a lot of photos down under the bridge with a camera we were letting him use.  It seems this was an important part of...

Did You Lose a Backpack?

So the post about this weekend was supposed to be titled, "Three People. Three Dogs. Four Backpacks. One Tent." It would have been all about our backpacking trip up Bear Creek in the Wallowa Mountains, in Oregon, with my husband and daughter. There would have been evergreen trees, a rushing, cold-water creek, meadows full of wildflowers, a little camp stove, and some yummy, homemade, camp food. The dogs would come along, even the 4 month old Poodle puppy. The older Poodle would even carry her own Poodle-sized backpack. Covid-19 has shut down many things, but it hasn't shut down nature. Nature heals many things. I needed to be out in nature. It was going to be the perfect weekend. But I'm not in control of everything. My dream weekend didn't happen. A new title is needed, "Did You Lose a Backpack?" We didn't leave home quite as early as we hoped this morning, but there would still be enough time to make it to our trailhead and get in a good ...
