Well my favorite quote, very zen very present, very much what I need to look at when pondering the folly of mankind...
This is a shot I took last fall on the trail below Myrtle Falls, Paradise, MORA... what you can't see in this one infinitesimal shot are the different botanical zones that meet in the area. Glacial water, volcanic rocks, flora and fauna that have evolved for eons, sub-alpine meeting alpine, clumps of trees that hunker together to provide shelter for small plants and protection from the intense winters, huckleberries the first people would come to harvest, corn lilies, hemlock, fir, marmots, pica, jays all covering one of Washingtons newest geothermal vulcan exhibits.
This image is on my desktop to remind me to look outside wherever I am and ponder how everything is connected...and I mean everything...do not exclude human kind or your neighbor or the dog or the red shafted flicker outside your window, nor the Barred Owl that hoots in the forest even during the day... go outside and sit and look at what is there within the few feet that is around you, really look...
ok campers enough wax rhapsodic, time to check the tomatoes and the kale...in the meantime, take a magnifying glass or binoculars and see a little bit closer to your world.
Peace out,
