An Epic Reunion With Myself and Mountains in Waterton Lakes National Park by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: While at Red Rock Canyon area in Waterton Lakes National Park with a view looking to the south to ridges and peaks of the Clark Range with Mount Blakiston and Mount Hawkins.

Some People Dream in Abstract (Great Smoky Mountains National Park) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: Some People Dream in Abstract Thoughts Like an Expressionist's Painting While other are bizarre, almost seemingly surreal Mine have been both, and sometimes in red But right now, I only dream wonderment for what stands in front Another work of short poetry or prose to complement the image captured one afternoon in the Cades Cove area of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. This was at a roadside pullout along the main park road with a view looking to the north-northwest to a group of black bears (momma bear and three cubs) who happened to be crossing this asphalt road. I captured quite a few images at this location, but this is one of the few that I really liked of the group because the momma bear happened to be looking in my general direction while her cub continued on.

Truly devastating to have to close my windows. It was so nice to have them open all day except for the 3 hours i was outside on a walk/reading by the pond. We simply don't get enough days like this
