I am enjoying them all very much and your observations that accompany them as always.susan rogersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7994934174936729819.post-92222948603989531712011-06-25T16:01:46.003-07:002011-06-25T16:01:46.003-07:00Yes, Lois, the trail was so inviting and lovely wi...Yes, Lois, the trail was so inviting and lovely with flowers, aspen trees and the peaks high above, with their scarves of white. A wonderland for sure.<br /><br />Well Steven, it was more of a sail away than a plunge, up into thin air, and certainly green.<br /><br />Yes Kathabela, it is a subtle green trail, so soft and homey compared the the beautiful, but stark beauty of the Arches.<br /><br />Gail, there were in fact birds singing, and rustle of aspen leaves in every little breeze. Every creek was overflowing and babbling its way down to the Colorado River. These aspens are like the birches I lived among in International Falls.<br /><br />Yes Mandy, I am having a dreamy kind of fun, the kind where it’s all so strange and lovely I don’t know how to act—kid of like being high on something I guess.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08759609166941428668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7994934174936729819.post-66039662714462431852011-06-25T16:00:29.331-07:002011-06-25T16:00:29.331-07:00Wow!

So fresh to include your own feelings along with the descriptions. I truly wish I were walking beside you to see these things in person...well, maybe not beside you on that cliff wall...maybe riding on your shoulders!Minahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09754211332304057383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7994934174936729819.post-71595493072621291832011-06-25T11:10:09.141-07:002011-06-25T11:10:09.141-07:00Sharon.... amazing pic (top one).

Lovely, lovely birches always compliment their green surroundings!

Masa has a 3-G router that works to give us all wireless as long as we are not going through tunnels! So on this 3 hour train I am able to peek at you as you climb La Sal! So wonderful. I love the richness of vegetation and the subtle dreaminess of the trail it must have been so quiet and magical to be there alone. Soon enough you will be back to your human interaction... and you've been enriched by the complexity of rocks... I know this final segment will be especially beautiful, with the love of friends. I am happy you were able to climb into this dream. The sight of the blooms especially enthralling... I read the biography of Anton Webern, composer who climbed the Alps and was inspired so much by Alpine flowers... that rare exquisite mostly unseen beauty is a treasure for a composer and a poet too! Soon enough we will be together again and share stories of our simultaneous journeys.Kathabelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03863810661468891882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7994934174936729819.post-79122702286237032772011-06-24T19:56:45.937-07:002011-06-24T19:56:45.937-07:00Ooo!
