Human and artifical sound and objects
thrust themselves upon us;
they are within our sphere, so to speak:
but the life of nature we must meet halfway;
it is shy, withdrawn and blends itself
with a vast neutral background.
We must be initiated;
it is an order
the secrets of which
are well gaurded.

Have I mentioned before what a great place you live in?!!! So gorgeous. Thanks for the photos!
Those are the most incredible pictures! I hope there will come a day that I can join you on a hike in this beautiful place! Exercise wouldn't seem quite so bad if you were surrounded by scenes like this...
I am jealous of your green...only a month has snow covered the ground up north, and already I'm thinking it's time for spring. sigh. Maybe it's just confinement. Beautiful pictures!
Very beautiful pictures!! it sorta makes me want to be out there....but maybe not at 6 in the morning! ;)
