These mountains were first named the "Three Nuns" in 1883 following a winter storm that left the peaks snow-capped and resembling nuns in white veils.

They were renamed the Three Sisters in 1886 by a Canadian Geologist.  The Three Sisters are individually known as Big Sister, Middle Sister, and Little Sister or Faith, Hope and Charity.

Heliotropism is a phenomenom

 where plants move toward the sun. 

In the morning young sunflowers face the east.

 Throughout the day they follow the sun westward

 and during the night

 they slowly turn back towards the east.  

As sunflowers age this sun tracking movement slows

 as the flower becomes heavy with seeds.

The  sunflower spends the rest of its days facing east.

Sometimes we miss what is right before of us. 

Who knew?

The strawberry leaf is a source of vitamin C, tannins, minerals and antioxidants.  The leaves have been harvested and used medicinally for centuries for many health benefits or can simply be enjoyed as a delicious summer-time hot or cold drink.

The strawberry is a cherished fruit but the leaf endures.    

Groups of three.

The strawberry leaf.

A symbol of trinity.
