Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful,
we must carry it with us or we will not find it.

We delight in the beauty
of the butterfly,
but rarely admit the changes
it has gone through
to achieve that beauty.

I am back from 10 days in (did you guess the location of last week’s attached photo?) Ouray and the surrounding San Juan Mountains in southwest Colorado. Talk about BEAUTIFUL! Grendel and I saw magnificent mountains, lively waterfalls, and even a big ole bear (captured on video!). If you feel like wasting a few minutes this morning, feel free to visit my photo & video archives of the trip:

While I am busy unpacking my stuff and my memories, I hope YOU can notice the BEAUTY around you and in you. Maybe even take a picture and share it with your friends?
Peace,
Paul
