The Calm Before
Calm water and a funky sky hours before a major storm blew through. Rain and wind all night had us holding onto the tent poles to prevent a collapse. A little vinegar in the stew makes it just a bit more flavorful. Angmagssalik fjord, Greenland.

On a Sunless Summer Day
While camped at the meadows edge I look into a forest half dead.
The beetles’ have had their way.
The clouds got thicker and a late afternoon shower moved in from behind.
The rain came and the skies cleared but the pines in this forest will take longer to return if they do at all.
Ecosystems are dying or being destroyed around the around the globe.
From the polar regions to the tropical jungles to the coral reefs and the grasslands in-between.
We know this to be true.
Yes, there is untold beauty all around, but it’s becoming harder to see when looking into natures mirror on a sunless summer day.
Mt Zirkel Wilderness, CO.
