Life in the Tetons felt dramatic and intense, reflecting our surroundings, as this photo, which I found this morning on fb, demonstrates.
Life here in a midwest college town carved out of hilly woodlands in the state of InDiana (get it? In-DIANA, goddess of the woodlands) offers myriads of smaller, subtler pleasures, as this photo I took about a week ago, centering a sunflower inside a wild hugelkulture mound in front of my house, demonstrates.
And oh! But if you could but hear the songbirds that greet each new dawn!
