Despite a chilly wind, being out in nature was very inspiring and healing. The light was wonderful for photography, and everything seemed new and vibrant.

What a wonderful balance to the horror of these times, and the incredible stupidity of trump and his running dogs! It is amazing that they are only interested in the rape and pillage of these wild places and their denizens, and the destruction of the environment, all in the name of power and greed.

Although seemingly beyond redemption, let us hope that they take some time to explore these places. Perhaps that will open their hearts and minds to something more enduring and transcendent.
