I usually am too lazy to work at it!!)<br /><br />Hi Heather - <br /><br />Wonderful BLOG post. The pictures you took are breathtaking! The open horizon of the Yukon coupled with those immense majestic mountains must have been an almost mystical like experience. The “tempestuous” clouds as you call them are remarkably beautiful in your photos, sweeping over the landscape as if they are trying to show off even more the spectacular scenery below.<br /><br />I really love your pic of the trail along the Dezadeash river. The trail itself, with its careful borders and inset natural contour is so inviting and contemplative. For me, it is this type of peace and beauty in Nature that attracts me like a strong magnet. Even more attractive is when something man-made is combined with Nature to accentuate its beauty without removing or destroying it. Thus I guess I have always loved homes that have plenty of natural light and windows that also try to take in as much of an outside natural setting as possible. I always admired how Frank Lloyd Wright approached and integrated nature with his architecture.<br /><br />Also my college days were spent in the magnificent redwoods of UC Santa Cruz California – primarily in the 1980s before the campus became over and parking lots were built everywhere. It was a unique experience of being able to live in a beautiful/natural contemplative setting where at the same time I was able to study computer languages like Pascal & C++ and Data Structures 101 building code on sophisticated UNIX driven machines yet at the same time walking out of my hi-tech computer rooms into oxygen rich - towering redwoods and beautiful inviting paths to relax and find peace.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your amazing pictures. The pics of the animals remind me of my own camping trip in Jacksonhole, WY where a good camping friend and myself actually did run into a bear! And it was scary as hell!<br /><br />Jamjamentahttp://jamenta.freehostia.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2420735183692724331.post-2658021113603355562010-06-01T16:11:34.771-04:002010-06-01T16:11:34.771-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.jamentahttp://jamenta.freehostia.com/noreply@blogger.com
