“Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop away from you like the leaves of Autumn.”

"Wander a whole summer if you can...time will not be taken from the sum of your life. Instead of shortening, it will definitely lengthen it....."

Sunrise Greetings

How glorious a greeting the sun gives the mountains!

Eastern Newt aka Red-spotted Newt

Keep close to Nature's heart...and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean.

~ John Muir

The grand show is eternal. It is always sunrise somewhere; the dew is never dried all at once; a shower is forever falling; vapor is ever rising. Eternal sunrise, eternal dawn and gloaming, on sea and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls.

A Glimpse Into Their Life

A cozy couple!

Mr Red trying to hide from my camera :)

This guy looks like he wants to play :)

Any glimpse into the life of an animal quickens our own and makes it so much the larger and better in every way.

Watching the Wild

  Tufted Titmouse
grabbing up some seed from the ground. Mmmmm Yummy!


And another squirrel...that seemed to be watching me intently.

As long as I live, I'll hear waterfalls and birds and winds sing. I'll interpret the rocks, learn the language of flood, storm, and the avalanche. I'll acquaint myself with the glaciers and wild gardens, and get as near the heart of the world as I can.
