It was definitely time. So off to the mountains for time away from the "normalcy" of everyday life. Was it worth it? Oh, yeah!
The Stellar's Jay came to visit first, but the birdsong from the nearby trees said that more was to to come. I could identify the robin, the grosbeak, the house finches, and of course the crow. There is also the chatter of the tree squirrel, perhaps scolding us for intruding.
The sunlight casts its light through the trees, shading and enhancing the various greens and warming the wood colors in tree trunks. The light also illuminates nearby stark peaks in all their magnificence.
A brisk breeze picks up just as I am basking in all of this wonder and reminds me it is time to go out and explore. And so I shall!
