Ch-ch-ch-changes
A flower in Rocky Mountain National Park.
I started my day by changing my regular running route to include a run over the Kansas River bridge as the sun was bright just over the horizon and reflected off the water. A blue heron sat content next to the dam, and I wanted to stop and watch it, but the pushy runner in me wouldn’t allow any breaks.
I ended my day reading on my deck with a chorus of cicadas singing in the trees around me, and then, what are now my former neighbors (but still good friends), dropped by for one last martini before embarking to their new abode. It’s a constantly shifting landcape ’round here..

Little Landscape at Bear Lake
Along the trail around Bear Lake, RMNP, Colorado, 2012.
“You air that serves me with breath to speak!
You objects that call from diffusion my meanings, and give them shape!
You light that wraps me and all things in delicate equable showers!
You paths worn in the irregular hollows by the roadsides!
I think you are latent with unseen existences—you are so dear to me.”
-Walt Whitman, from Song of the Open Road
