Hi Jim, thanks for sharing the link. Bears and baby elk must have made it a good day not to mention the landscape. Safe travels.

Stunning! It makes me think of haikus by Basho, not sure how. Probably because of the simplicity it invokes.

So blissful, Mike. I want to be there as the day begins, and some coffee would be nice, too 🙂 This is one of those images you could just fall into and be lost for a while. You have got some magic there, Mike!

Hi and thanks and thanks for the taking time to leave the feedback. The slight orange monochrome was how it looked that morning. The rising sun gave just a slight orange tint to everything.

You too! Have a great weekend! 🤗 Remember to keep hydrated if you have summer, or keep warm if you have winter. Or just both in general, actually. 😂♥️
