Donna invites us to participate as she hosts this week’s photo challenge “Over the Hill”. Please visit her post here and see the inspiring message she shares.
I feel like I’ve faced a few hills in my life lately.
Two weeks ago we escaped town for a few days. My husband volunteers as an official at nearby armature golf tournaments and this time I tagged along. The tournament was at Wild Horse Pass and we stayed at the resort next door.
Look for more photos to come, as this was a beautiful location with ample nature photo opportunities.
As I headed out that first morning on their nature path, the scene below was one of the first I came across. It was a beautiful view that brought sunshine to my heart. A reminder to keep moving forward, something beautiful is just over that next hill.
“Where others see but the dawn coming over the hill, I see the soul of God shouting for joy.”
~ William Blake

peace of life today 
Stunning photography, Lisa. I don’t play golf often right now, yet there is nothing like being out on a golf course as the sun is coming up, and the dew is slowly evaporating from the grass. So beautiful!

Thank you, and I totally agree with you, Jeff! My husband loves golf, and I don’t have the time in my life right now. But I do enjoy sharing his passion from time to time 😊

I’m glad you tagged along. Absolutely stunning photos at dawn. The rain in the desert has brought us a fresh desert, hasn’t it?
“Where others see but the dawn coming over the hill, I see the soul of God shouting for joy”. I will share these words another time, So true! Thanks Lisa.

You can’t beat a good golf course for marvellous scenery… Since you or your husband may be interested in golf, here’s a link to my club’s website: https://www.royalstdavids.co.uk/ You’ll see why I do less walking in the mountains now. 😀
