Gift of Hiking
Introducing our son
To mountain climbing
He started young
Step by step over rocks
Ascending mountains by the age of four
Happily hiking
Becoming a serious hiker as an adult
Climbing all four thousand footers
In the White Mountains
Drew his full concentration
Preferred the historic mountains of Europe
To the wide open spaces of American mountains
Introducing his children to hiking
Physically nourishes the body
Soothes the mind
Exercise and spectacular views
A special gift
Shared experience
Three generations enriched
Took photographs
Hiking Utah Canyonlands
Fueled my creativity
Inspired my interpretation
In collage
