wilderness gives the human spirit breathing room
come along with us as we
explore the vast, unique, windswept, peaceful
california carrizo plain...
and sold almost all our cards
and images (so exciting, thank you)
we saw birds and raptors
and a badger in a meadow
we found a herd of tule elk
and two western rattlesnakes
and much much more
we had a brilliant time
wee olive was a good traveler (and gave us a lot of laughs)
she seemed to enjoy her adventure
however, it was a bit of a challenge to get her to sleep
the night camp came alive with
full moon revelers
singing and chanting and beating drums in the night
there was knitting
two new pairs of baby socks to gift
a few more rows to my sweater
and a shawl for olive
a chill was in the air
with wine glasses in hand
we watched the sun melt golden slowly
over caliente mountain
spreading orange shimmer upon soda lake
breathtaking empty wild
losing ourselves in the vastness
we found the space to breathe.
