Thankful for the sun and the moon and the stars

We've just returned from one of our best adventures through the west, ever!

... for the sun. Our adventure started with this.

I do promise that there will be more footage of that particular event, seen from the totality zone in Wyoming in the quiet of the wilderness. It was one of the most wildly astounding events that I've ever witnessed. Time stood still for just an instant while our pack stood in awe.

... and the moon. When we arrived home, a red orb rose above the hills to our east. It was the full moon through a smoky haze.

...and the stars. Oh my - from the wilds of Wyoming where wolves and grizzlies roam, the sky was dark as ink during the new moon, letting us see the Milky Way in all her glory.
My Gratitude is boundless for the gift of nature's beauty shared with the pack who I love.

      We have no nearby fires, yet. This is a historically bad time of year for us so we collectively hold our breath until we get rain again. The smoke is horrendous but I'm not complaining knowing what a tough time so many people in our country are having.

    The moon rising and sun setting every day this week have provided quite the color show. Looking forward tumor eclipse pics.
