love knot

another carved tree. when I first noticed this, I thought how kewl. it had been awhile since seeing love carved into a tree. however as I hiked back to my jeep. I saw that practically every Aspen had been carved into. just initials of one individual or those of a couple. that dampened my spirits a bit. graffiti all over the trees. ugh! but so is the nature of mankind and the young...it took away the beauty of nature a bit. now I truly understand those who get upset with graffiti in other places. although I have liked the "art" in graffiti I didn't get the dirt until now. another lesson finally learned, slowly but surely.
....in the meantime, I got a message from my DIL yesterday that her and my grandbaby will possibly (probably) be coming to see me sooner than later. they may be here as soon as the first week of September. what a birthday present that would be. will know further details this weekend. at this moment she should be landing in Arkansas to see her family. I'm excited, but again will wait to see it to believe it. I'll keep you posted....right now it's time to start my brew....

In Canada every rock is covered with graffiti along this one highway we take.. It is really sad as it really takes away from the beautiful.
