Luckily, I live among some of the world's most marvelous natural treasures, and I still retain the capacity to be struck dumb with wonder by them. And also luckily, I still retain sufficient bodily strength to get out among these treasures, even if they require a hike or a climb or a paddle. Thank you for sharing here on your blog some of the natural wonders I will probably never see near my home.Jacqueline Donnellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13390548854179921303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389594314135473379.post-62835599097329522752021-08-07T06:30:34.499-04:002021-08-07T06:30:34.499-04:00Thank you all. It's been a good life -- and it...Thank you all. It's been a good life -- and it ain't over yet. I've been extremely fortunate: finding a wonderful lady, receiving an excellent education, having an interesting job that changed often enough to keep it interesting, living in a place where we could experience both town and country. We're both always grateful for our good fortune while always remembering that to a certain extent we all determine our own destiny.Woody Meristemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17042498252608254901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389594314135473379.post-45286573161640092352021-08-06T18:31:45.671-04:002021-08-06T18:31:45.671-04:00Congratulations and best wishes for many more year...Congratulations and best wishes for many more years of exploring Mother Nature!
