blustery day at the refuge. february 2022.

"Let the wind blow.... blow as hard as it can."
(Song lyrics that came to mind on the trail yesterday.)
​
It really blows on the open Kenai trail at the refuge on windy days!!
Which is why we had the trail completely to ourselves. :)

Our view looking northeast with the Sapphire Mountains.

The clouds were a stormy blue to the east, and a dreary gray to the west.
The in-between felt pretty turbulent.

I really do enjoy this kind of atmosphere.
​It's such a contrast to the fair-weather-sunny days,
adding a different dimension to our experiences in nature.

Just a little reminder that God's beauty is all around us,
​no matter what the weather is currently doing. :)

Beautiful pictures, Nikki! I love the drama of that first one. These remind me that even a place I've visited hundreds of times can still surprise me with its beautiful moments, like the ones you've captured here.

Thanks, Dana. Yes, I love those dramatic moments in nature. Like you say, the same trails hiked again and again can lead to some very different experiences. I never tire of them, and am always delightfully surprised by something along the way on my various hikes. :)
