  12. The photo is beautiful!! As for the quote...this used to be one of my soap box issues with my students....I preached relentlessly on how what we believe and stand by today will be tested and changed by life and experiences...and we all approach life differently and experience it uniquely.

  14. Fantastic shot, and pretty accurate quote - there is a lot to be said to keeping an open mind. If we only surrounded ourselves with 'like thinkers' we would be a very boring bunch.

  55. leghold? rural living.

    otherwise a very long telephoto...We have seen many this year, but they run as soon as they hear a man made sound...but then we have dead things and things dying with fences down and its awful how cows can keep on going even with burned down to the coffin bone hooves...the coyotes follow them, and bring them down if we dont see them first.
