Thoughts to Ponder from Little Mouse the Mouse brings together photographs of Paradise Lake and Little Mouse's Thoughts.
This collection of 32 scenic pictures along parts of Paradise Lake and the published Sunday Thoughts on Little Mouse's website (littlemousethemouse.com) is the third book in Little Mouse the Mouse's Series.
Luckily, Mother Nature shooed away the overcast long enough for these breath-taking photos to be taken on a March winter day in 2018. The sun, clouds, and blue sky unexpectedly opened up after several cloudy days of light snow and rain. Luckily, these pictures were able to capture nature's motif, splendor, and reflective display of conifer and acorn trees near the end of the day.
With the exception of three, each Sunday Thoughts published from August of 2017 to March of 2018, have been paired up with a photograph.
Readers of the first or second book of the Little Mouse's Series will come to see why Little Mouse is so lucky to live and think at Paradise Lake.
The introductory poem in this book portrays the beauty, harmony, and peace within each of us as well as at Paradise Lake. This introduction emphasizes the purpose and intent of the three book series: "Goodness is the ultimate class act," for you to seek out in you and others when you seek out The Real You (TRY) in you.
The Little Mouse the Mouse series is for adults to read and enjoy, and then share with young people. Wonderful books if you like humor, wit, surprises, fanciful plots, and suspense, and would like a roadmap of life while removing roadblocks that get in the way.
Paradise Lake is located near Magalia, California, near the northern most end of the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range and beginning of the Cascade Mountain Range.
