Climb the mountains and get their good tidings.
Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine
flows into trees. The winds will blow their
own freshness into you, and the storms their energy,
while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.
~John Muir
We took the Young Women on a hike the other day! We had fun...and we had a surprise! Here it was the end of March...and we found this stately guy sunbathing on a rock in the evening waning light. Never have I seen a tortoise this early in the spring!! Hopefully its an omen for a long hot summer!! By the size of this guy, I would estimate he's been sunning himself on the rocks of Southern Utah for at least 50 years!!! He's seen a lot of changes in his environment!! A lot more people and bikers must walk on by his part of the reserve!! How grateful I am for the sharp eyed teenager that spied him out there!!
