Travel gratefully

baby yoda toy at airport
Hurry up and wait. My gate is downstairs and always crowded. This is the farthest spot from the gate and the least crowded. The unique, bug-carved stick didn’t make it through security.
  • Flathead Valley, Montana.
  • Columbia Falls lumber mill.
  • The Flathead Valley, home of Kalispell, Whitefish, and Columbia Falls, Montana.
  • South of Glacier, a continuation of the Northern Rockies.
  • Not too far south from Glacier. An aerial look at where the plates collided.
  • Late in the day as we approach Dallas. Long shadows.
  • Hidden Mickey?
  • Eons of erosion. Fascinating.
Glacier National Park, October 4, 2020.

Travel and gratitude get honed with repetition.

Extra Inch

mountains
Signature Clements Mountain behind Logan Pass Visitor’s Center (a spec near the center).
  • Mountains, yes, of course. Small leaves? Yes, of course.
  • Lovely yellow.
  • Lovely daisy. Piegan Mountain.
  • Mountain Ash berries, fully ripened.
  • Exquisite. All of it. Even the tiniest details.
  • Thank God for bees.
  • The berries will start to drop as the fruit rots.
  • Glacier’s fireworks, in my mind.
  • The grand finale.
Glacier National Park, October 3, 2020.

One flower, one leaf, one berry, one bee, one pollen spec – nature’s way of going the extra inch. All day, every day.

Problem or opportunity?

Problem: What do you do when first option is canned, and an honest and convenient plan B is also canned?
  • Plan C is nearby but i must turn my head 180 degrees. Piegan?
  • Decided that Piegan, while physically doable, would take too long to return safely to the car by 5:00 PM. Sat at this vantage point for longer than normal because i had nowhere to go but down.
  • Since i wasn’t ready to go down, i found a wonderful vantage spot and sat quietly and drank it all in. Unrushed. Overwhelmed by the stillness.
  • Siyeh Pass, middle saddle. This is where we saw the Grizzly and cub.
  • Looking Northeast.
  • Stunningly different layers on the East side. The East side has been closed since Covid broke out.
  • Deserves future attention.
  • The Eastern geography extends North towards Canada.
  • R-L: Reynolds 9,156′, Fusillade 8,750′, Jackson 10,052′.

Do you have a problem or an opportunity? When you change what you see, what you see changes.

Somber lighting?

Mid-afternoon, October 1.

Two photos, same spot, both unedited. First pic.

Two photos, same spot, both unedited. Second pic. Sky is much bluer. Could be the auto focus idiosyncrasies.

Learn to face your death. Ignoring death perpetuates fear.

Change has two sides

This view required a photo before proceeding.
  • Zooming out for context.
  • Hello Haystack Butte. Lovely from the West side looking East.
  • Howdy Garden Wall. A few days ago you were covered in snow and i enjoyed that from atop Haystack.
  • Mountain Ash berries are almost deep red.
  • Classic and clear: Danger, keep out.
  • Mt Oberlin summit is the highest point on what appears flat.
  • Oberlin’s shadow on Pollock says the sun is setting soon.
  • Have never seen sunset from Oberlin. Changing that right now.
Glacier National Park, September 30, 2020.

Change is the only way we grow. Fear of change shackles us.
