It is strange that the really great things in nature are never talked about. Nobody praises cold rain and mud.
It was finally a good day to go mountain biking. I had to cross two wet streams to get to the 'trailhead.' I didn't even know there were dry washes there. But now enough water was flowing that I was forced to stop and study the situation. Recall the old "Do Not Cross When Flooded" signs.
But I did cross because I knew the bottom was gravel. What a glorious thing it is to see water flowing!
After the ride we found ourselves at a local coffee shop, unaccustomed as we are to places like that. Normally I would look up at any kind of shade cloth or viney pergola and admire it.
But today I deliberately chose a sunny table!
But exulting is cheap if it is just verbal -- let's do something real to celebrate the occasion, such as putting my anti-postcard policies on vacation, briefly.
And one has to break in a new camera somehow.
