After a few days in Denver, we drove through mountains and tundra to Jackson, Wyoming to see the Grand Tetons. I never knew mountains could be this spectacular. No foot hills. Just giant ragged cliffs towering over vast flat land. They are breath taking.
"As I looked- A peculiar exalted sensation seemed to fill my entire being, and I found my eyes in tears. I said with some enthusiasm, 'I have seen the power and the glory of a supreme being. The majesty of His handiwork is in that testimony of the rocks'".

We stayed at the most picturesque place imaginable. Spring Creek Ranch. Because it sits on a foot hill, it has a uninhibited view of some of the best peaks. What we didn't expect, was that this view would also be seen from our private balcony. Let me tell you, this view made for one of the best cups of coffee ever.

Caleb managed to get some beautiful star shots. He stood in the field- freezing- at 1am to get them. I opted to stay in bed right in front of the fire.
"everyone needs beauty as well as bread. places to play in, and pray in. where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul.
the mountains are calling - and i must go"
