Attitude equals Altitude!

       Every day in our lives we have decisions to make on circumstances that come into our lives, We can choose to have a negative attitude, where we see the glass half empty or less and allow this negative attitude to dominate our days, keeping us from reaching our God given potential. Or we can choose to put our faith in our Heavenly Father and have a positive attitude where we see the glass half full or greater, and through this positive attitude reach new heights in our lives that we never dreamed possible. Join us in choosing faith, a positive attitude and a full glass for 2017 and see what new heights we can reach. Photography by David Weaver owner with Michele Weaver of BestLight.Photography and CreationScapes.Photography Specializing in Real Estate Photography and Fine Art Photography.

Puget Sound Sunset

 One of my favorite things to do is to get out and immerse myself into some part of God’s creation. As a Photographer I find great joy and satisfaction in seeing all of the great detail that our Heavenly Father has created, from the vast expanse of the universe down to the smallest parts of creation, there is no denying The God of all creation. Please be sure to take some time in 2017 to get out and enjoy some part of the great outdoors. If you are a Realtor Please take some time to visit BestLight Photography. If you have a blank spot on your wall that is begging to be filled please visit CreationScapes Photography. Owners David and Michele Weaver would be honored that you did. One more thought, let us all do our part to spread more peace on earth for 2017.

Looking for a beautiful cabin in a great location that is also pet friendly, then take a look at Timber Ridge Retreat. Owners Brad and Laura with their son Kyle (Manager) of Divide Mountain Rentals have done it again with another great vacation destination location.

In the evening after a day of exploring, relax on the deck or take a dip in the hot tub while your dog enjoys the large fenced in backyard.

The inside of the cabin is beautifully furnished with all of the comforts of home. Enjoy fixing a meal from the well equipped kitchen for your family, after your meal and you are ready to kick back and relax, immerse yourself into the comforts of the living room in front of the rock fireplace while you watch your favorite movie on the 40 inch LCD TV with surround sound. After you have fought off sleep long enough rest assured that a short distance down the hall is a beautiful, warm and inviting bed where you can fall blissfully asleep waking in the morning ready for another exiting day exploring with the family. (While in the cabin check out the handmade furnishings like the kitchen table, coffee table, bed frames and end tables all made of Aspen wood by the owner Brad)

This beautiful secluded cabin sits in the middle of 35 acres of land in a setting of pines and aspens. Down the hill from the cabin is a spring fed pond where wildlife occasionally come for a refreshing drink. The inside of the cabin is beautifully furnished with all of the comforts of home.

If you are looking for activities to do in the region, there is plenty to do for all ages. To the east at the foot of Pikes Peak lay the Cities of Colorado Springs and Manitou Springs where you can spend days exploring the many great activities that these two cities have to offer, for example take a walk underground in the Cave of the Winds, take a stroll back in time at the Manitou Cliff Dwellings, hike the trails in Garden of the gods or if they are too easy then challenge yourself to the 24 mile round trip to the top of Pikes Peak and back via the Barr Trail. If you are looking to sit back and relax as the scenery unfolds before you, check out the Pikes Peak Cog Railway or drive to the summit via the Pikes Peak Highway. About twenty miles to the south is the town of Cripple Creek where you can descend 1,000 feet underground in the Mollie Kathleen Gold Mine Tour. If you want to learn about the history of Cripple Creek, check out the Cripple Creek Heritage and Information Center located across from the Mollie Kathleen. While you are in Cripple Creek you may want to treat the family to a ride on the Cripple Creek & Victor Narrow Gauge Railroad. If you are looking for restaurants within a reasonable distance of the cabin, consider in the city of Woodland Park. Hungry Bear Restaurant, Fusion Japan, AJ’s Stone Oven American Pizzeria, Joanie’s Bakery & Delicatessen, Fiesta Mexicana Family Restaurant and the Donut Mill.
