I was waiting to see a brontosaurus crossing a plain between the mountains the first time I was in Big Bend. The vista was spectacular in its ancientness. That feeling, now many decades old, has never gone away. The Bend's ultimate power over me is its ability to restore my soul, a soul which seems to diminish the farther I'm from that magic place. Your celebration of BB's birthday brings it all back to my mind and certainly strengthens my spirit. Many thanks.
First of all, thanks for the glorious photos of BBNP! You capture some of the magnificence of the park, which is impossible to really do. But what a lovely introduction to the park's magic!
Your poetry comes close to describing its beauty as elegantly as the pictures.
Thanks for sharing your love of the Park with all of us.
What a beautiful portrait of your experience; you make me feel as if I was right there with you on the rim.
Thanks, Mick. Appreciate the kind words.
