Quick before the gates close! The seasonal closure of Yellowstone\u2019s road system is upon us. \u00a0Jenny, young George and I took the opportunity to pick up and drop off some sculptures at Mountain Trails Gallery in Jackson, WY as our excuse to take a drive through the interior of our nation’s first national park before the land becomes shrouded in\u00a0white. Each year the roads of the Park close, save the road out to Cooke City at the north-east entrance, in order to let the snow build up to the point of allowing travel by snowcoach or snowmobile. (Image above: the majestic Tetons reduced to their foothills by dramatic skies)<\/p>\n

Our together-ness is made all the more sweet by the\u00a0extraordinary landscape that we share. The icing on the cake is the wild inhabitants along the way who give us an even deeper level of awareness.<\/p>\n
