Today’s walk provided some great photo ops. The wind was wild and the clouds dark. You can see the rough waters here in Lake Sekrit.

Weeds against a gray sky. (I want to make a website banner from this, I think.)
My town!
It’s still snowy in the mountains.

Movies
I watched The Lookout and enjoyed it. The main character was extremely likable and distinctive. The story was put together well and was engaging as a crime story as well as an emotional character-development story. The acting was great. I recommend it.
Books
I reread Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale this weekend and started a reread of Gaiman’s Neverwhere. It was gorgeous outside here in Colorado, but cold, and reading in my warm, comfy nook was too nice to stop. I love Handmaid’s Tale, but I’m sure it has influenced me more than any book should. I can’t quite leave it behind as inspiration because, to me, it is the perfect Great Story. It’s brilliant on so many levels. I wish I could write something like that. I imagine I will always be trying. *sigh*
This is the last set for today (I promise!). These are from a walk I took earlier, finally getting back to the swampy land I mentioned weeks ago. As you can see, Sunspot loved the lake.

I love the colors here, gold against the pale blue:
A wider view. Clouds hide the mountains.
On the way home, I spotted a horse.
Today’s walk was colorful. It’s still windy out, but warm.

I have more pics! (Oooh surprise.) Last week, I discovered a trail that goes by a creek. The surrounding land is wet and marshy. There are ducks.
