"When we dwell with mountains, see them face to face, every day, they seem as creatures with a sort of life - friends subject to moods, now talking, now taciturn, with whom we converse as person to person."
The Contemplative John Muir
I love returning to Watson Lake and Bellvue Dome again and again - generally, once every two or three days. This beautiful natural area is located just three miles from my doorstep. Every time I visit, the mood is completely different. Just three days ago, for example, the lake was totally ice-free. A month ago, I could walk across on its frozen surface. Yesterday, it was again iced up, with a few pools of water covering the surface. How amazing is this Earth - our home!
