Katie taught me The First Thing You See. When I’m on the road, I stop and sleep in beautiful places. These are some of the first things I’ve seen upon waking up.

Cultural exploitation at it’s worst:

I got this big wooden box out of the dumpster:

That is one beautiful view! I would love to wake up and have that as the first thing I see.
Lucky you.

Tara-
Beaautiful photos! Thanks for sharing ‘em. Katie’s wise. Nemo and I went camping this weekend at Lassen, and had the joy of awakening to an amazing view. Of course, we were awakened by bright sun into the tent after only 5 hours of sleep because we’d climbed the volcano by the light of the full moon the night before, but oh, my– beautiful views are good for the soul.
