The Land Ethic

Driving to and from Nahahum Canyon we listened to a podcast from a Yale School of Forestry celebration of Aldo Leopold, also a graduate of the school.  It was a marvelous podcast, focused on his The Sand County Almanac and his land ethic.

There was much discussion about human interactions with and humans as a part of nature.

During the weekend, of course, we got outside.  And I realized that part of my interactions with and being part of nature is because of my time with the girls.  We get out a lot.  No matter the weather and sometimes no matter what time.  We hear hawks, see deer, smell the pine, touch the soil, taste the cool water.  And we love it all.

Doesn't get much better.
