Sept. 19, 2006 - 20:47 MDT A BREATH OF FRESH AIR Heather and I picked the best of days to go to the mountains to see the Aspen trees. A yearly thing it is, and if we miss a year we suffer the most severe withdrawal pangs. It was sunny, cloudless and the fearcasters said it would stay that way -- which it did. We took the road up to Echo Lake, which is on the way to Mount Evans and were greeted with the Rocky Mountain Gold Leaf that we yearn to see all year long. We were in the right place at the right time, the sun just where I wanted it to be, the Aspens were lambent, sunlit, glowing. We had a grand day, and a lesson was retaught me too. A picture I took showed me something I didn't see at the time of taking. A lone pine, perched on a rock, defying all and sinking its roots in the cracks, braving the winds and the cold of the mountains, and staying green all the while. Badly worded, I know, but that image will stay with me whenever my mood goes to the blue side. Yea, verily, today was truly A BREATH OF FRESH AIR . . . . . . . 5 comments so far
