A Rocky Mountain Spring

Seasons change subtly at high altitude.

Winter has the starring role

with summer edging onto the stage

for a few brief months. 

Spring and fall barely have speaking roles.

Though spring is nominally here,

winter still takes command.

Days are longer and temperatures slowly rise.

Though snow melts, it also continues to fall.

Welcome to my Rocky Mountain spring!

I wrote a post about blogging on

Live and Learn

I'd enjoy your feedback.

Promise in the Air

a soft filter of light

quiet afternoon shadows

spring inching forward

More snow is in the forecast, but the melt/freeze cycle has started. Sunny days soften the snow which refreezes overnight. The quality of light is changing as days become longer. The evergreens seem to stretch and breath deeply after the long, cold winter. I'm breathing more deeply, too. There is a promise brought by the warmth of the sun. Wherever you are, I hope you feel that promise, too.

Vail Village and Meeting a Genius

Einstein was relaxing

face raised to the sun

he didn't seem to mind my company

here's what he told me:

"I never think of the future. It comes soon enough."

"If A is success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z.

Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut."

"Anyone who has never made a mistake

has never tried anything new."

"Not everything that counts can be counted,

and not everything that can be counted counts."

"The difference between stupidity and genius

is that genius has its limits."

"if you can't explain it simply,

you don't understand it well enough."

Wow - I'm glad I had this chance meeting!
