When I was a kiddo, my grandfather took me to see this film in the 1970’s.
It was an important film to him and he was excited to share it. We drove to downtown Cleveland to a special showing, and I’m certain that this kind gesture was partially responsible for my love of the wild

Got too pollen faced to fly home.
I’ll just crash here for the night

You can find this beautiful old, partially collapsed, bridge straddling the waters of Shull Run, just west of the Rockland Tunnel, a short distance off the Allegheny River Trail in Western PA

Only when we’ve truly fallen back in love with the Earth will our actions spring from reverence and the insight of our interconnectedness.

-Thich Nhat Hanh thoughts for y'all. 💚

loved pedaling bikes in Beaufort SC, while the sunlight filtered through the gently swaying spanish moss

Sidenote: Spanish moss is actually not moss nor is it from Spain. It's a flowering plant (in the pineapple family) that grows on other plants for support.

I had to..! Could not walk by without petting it

Surrounded by the Cherokee National Forest, Backbone Rock, which at 20 feet long is known as the world’s shortest tunnel, was made accessible to hikers when a set of steps with uneven footing and massive drop-offs was constructed in the 1930’s by the CCC.
