"Life isn't a support system for art. It's the other way around."
- Stephen King

I'm right here! Beam me up!!! How lucky these moss covered trees are finding themselves in the path of light. Grateful ferns and ivy absorb the lights essence breathing in, breathing out. The white water flowing between the forests add a symphony of rhythm, pulsating amid the rocky run. A tune for the ages each note a song, a moment that will never be again.

Route 66 Missouri: Ted Drewes Frozen Custard since 1929 (2 locations in St Louis). Famous for their “Concretes” (pre-designed mix-ins). I was excited to compare them to Culver’s (since 1984. 1,000 stores, 26 states w/customized options). For me, no contest. Ted Wins!!

The magnificent Sierra Juniper. Twisted & gnarled, growing out of cracks in rocks. Their seeds have the best chance to germinate if they’re first digested by birds! Mother Nature never ceases to amaze. #NatParkGeek #NationalParks #findjoy #roadtrip #ParkChat #YosemiteNP #OlmsteadPoint #saveourparks
Twisted Sierra juniper tree at Olmsted Point in Yosemite National Park, California, surrounded by granite boulders and alpine vegetation. The gnarled trunk and windswept branches of the juniper contrast against the rugged granite slope and sparse conifer trees in the background, characteristic of Yosemite’s high-elevation subalpine terrain. #photography #artyear #protectpublicland #resist #istandwithparkrangers #YosemiteNP #Juniper
