There's a soundtrack to this, for sure. But yours might differ from mine. So I'll let you spin it up. Thanks Gary for reminding us of the magic of sunny days, winding roads, and mountain vistas.

Shayla Wallace lies in wait to capture winter’s delicate beauty
What makes you different, makes you beautiful, writes Shayla Wallace, who only had to take about 50 photos, experiment with endless different angles and freeze her fingers, to get this moment. Worth it.
Shadows
An object between a source of light and a ground will cast a shadow if the light source is bright enough-that’s the straight forward explanation for shadows and that’s the interpretation I take when I observe these dark images. I’m not unaware of the various significance others might attach to a fascination with shadows but … Continue reading Shadows
Even nature likes to show off every now and then. Photo by Victoria Saddleman
Love her but leave her wild. Atticus might be speaking of a love interest. But I apply it to the earth, too. Thanks for sharing the image and quote, Victoria Saddleman.

I … Continue reading Dave Steers contemplates the sunset
Pika – you’ve probably been saying it wrong all this time

Mostly this was an enjoyable task, as I relived trips and hikes and social events and got ever more merciless … Continue reading Pika – you’ve probably been saying it wrong all this time
Close Up on Winter, with Marilyn Marinus
If someone is going to bare their naked fingers and go outside and grovel around in the snow, playing with lenses, trying to capture the quintessence of winter, I am 100% going to stop and soak in their work. And, if they'll relent to my badgering, to share it, too. Thanks Marilyn for this reminder … Continue reading Close Up on Winter, with Marilyn Marinus
Sam McKoy on the role of dads, the backcountry and going self-propelled play in wellness
We're back with another guest post by Sam McKoy as part of our series recapping his instagram takeover. This is a photo of my dad following me up the mountainside of Rohr on the Duffey Lake Road. . .
