I grew up in the mountains and a couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to go back there and explore a bit with some friends and family.
It has been a hot summer in North America, but the mountains were cool not too hot.
Nature is an easy subject to photograph, especially the mountains. It had been a very snowy, wet winter and the mountains were greener than I normally see them.
Cascade Springs was a beautiful location to visit. The springs cascade through limestone terraces and sparkling pools. It’s like visiting a fairy tale.
I didn’t see any large wildlife, but it wasn’t hard to imagine a moose enjoying their morning drink here.
I keep this blog, this plate of grapes, to try to find some beauty in this world and to try to make sense of everything that is happening. It provides an outlet for me to be somewhat creative, even if nobody reads this.
Today, it has provided me with some much needed stress relief. It is nice to be reminded of all the beauty in this world. We are very fortunate to have this planet, this earth. It has given us so much.
There is a bee hiding behind that flower. If you look closely, you can see the hairy bum peeking out.
