Along the Firehole River seasons pass faster than the river seems to flow.
Snow now cloaks the valley.

Survivor
A little inspiration provided by a silent yet strong tree growing in the barren dry hills of western Colorado near the Utah border. When the going gets tough the tough keep growing.
Down but not out
Fall colors dulled by a sunless sky.
The shapes of grasses and tress take center stage.
What is there to say.

Sometimes abrupt and sometimes gradual, change is something we can count on, and it sure is good to have something we can count on.

Forest Bathing
Some say there is healing power in a long forest experience, a practice called shirn-yoku in Japan. There certainly are days when you leave a nice walk in the woods with a feeling you can equate with healing. It need not be walking as a long sit on that quiet bench or rock also seems to do the trick.
Although scientific evidence is currently sparse as to the specific mechanism by which a forest walk promotes positive health we can all agree it does no harm at all.
On some days it is what we see and others what we smell. Many days it is what we do not see or smell as we walk away from the hustle and bustle and into the woods.
Whatever it is about a forest bath I sure wish Doctors would prescribe it more.
Change
Change is in the air.
