In honor of Dad making it through the last couple of weeks of chemo, and for your loyal readership, I present you with a wonderful weekend photo. I'm not exactly sure where this is, but I'm pretty sure I was the one taking this photo just before Dad jumped in the water to cool off. It's a great photo that reminds me of his naturalist Thoreau/Emerson side. I always describe him to others as part "mountain man" but he is just as much philosopher and curator. Looking back I really appreciate the lessons he taught me about the wonders and beauty of nature. I think his sensibility for the outdoors defined a great deal of his life, attitudes, and decisions. To my Dad the journey was always more important than the destination...

Matt, this picture is at the Colorado River. Your Granpa Paulson had a cabin close by. Larry Jr
ReplyDeleteOK, that sounds right. I was pretty sure it was a river and not a lake. I have another photo with me and Clint playing near the water.
