We have a beautiful lounge with a cosy fire going overlooking the canyon and the fast flowing Deschutes River here at Eagle Crest Resort. The big blue skies of our first few days in Central Oregon have changed to low cloud with misty rainy conditions.
It's been rather nice to slow down, to watch the early morning snow, to read, to have a swim in a heated outdoor pool (only managed 15 minutes), to sit in the spa and to take gentle walks along the Deschutes River Trails. The trees and the winter colours along the trail are captivating.

| The beauty of trees-Western Junipers- along our trail! |
 |
| Just love these moss covered branches. |

| An even a bonsai growing valiantly out of the rock |

PS: I set out again this afternoon, the skies had cleared, the sun even came out and the trail was calling.
So wonderful to have this beauty around me. |
