Great pictures and quotes. I was surprised by the ones from A. A. Milne; never heard anything from him in that vein before.
Did you build that rock cairn?
Awesome.
Jon,
There are always several large cairns on the Laurel River trail...I've yet to hike the riverside without seeing several. This large cairn was just one example of the many we saw this weekend. I don't have the patience.
One thing I did think about while on the trail was I should build one someday to offer others the same awesome experience I feel when I stumble upon one.
Hey Jon- I've tried several times now to leave comments on your blog and can't get anywhere. What's up with that?
This post is a meditation in itself. Thanks for a serene opening to my morning.
absolutely beautiful
I easily know the last to be true.
The first and last water photos are of my favorite sorts of reflections.
Wonderful pics, baby!
Can't wait to go in Oct with you.
Love
Wifey
