"I rode to the very end of the valley gazing
from side to side, thrilled almost to pain with the feast of snowy
diamond loveliness . . . It is all one finished unit of divine beauty,
weighed in the celestial balances and found perfect."
The Contemplative John Muir
Thursday's snow made the mountain landscape unbelievably beautiful. For some reason, the snow has stayed on the evergreens longer than usual, making the contrast between the snow and foliage especially heightened.
