quote
As Wright himself once put it, “Our national heritage is richer than just scenic features. The realization is coming that perhaps our greatest national heritage is nature itself, with all its complexity and its abundance of life, which, when combined with great scenic beauty as it is in the national parks, becomes of unlimited value.”

too bad about your taxes. great photos - saw via the webcams that the snow has melted on the valley floor - at least in the open spaces.
not sure if i have shared this but think i have so i won't tell the entire story. rhonda(rip) and i were in housekeeping camp for 3 weeks and got to see the beginning of the nest site choice and materials discussion between 'ma & pa' bird from start to finish! AMAZING! finished nest was beautiful. also funny to see pile of rejects on the ground below that did not make the cut.
