I fear that future generations will judge us harshly for our failure to place proper value on wildness, diversity, open space, spirit, solitude, and other treasures of the natural world still available to us today. May they at least know that some of us tried.

I am grateful this community I live in has placed value on the wildness of nature and have established several Natural Areas that are set aside as treasures. I am thankful no wealthy developer will be able to destroy the beauty of this morning sunrise scene. My prayer today is that everyone, including rich developers, will come to see the beauty and priceless value of this sunrise as a gift for all of us without a monetary value. And, I need to know I was one of those who tried.

What a beautiful sunrise photo, Monte. One fit for print for sure! Just from our short visit to you area last year Bonnie and I were impressed with the efforts to insure people had access to nature areas and that balance with nature was a consideration. It’s a lovely area to live to live!

Beautiful sunrise Monte and agree with the quote and words. I often think about past atrocities and wonder how people will look back on the ones occurring today.

Thanks, Mark. I am aware of many atrocities we have made and in too many ways, still are. Each year there seems to be less natural areas as man strives to alter nature. Nature will have the last word!
