As we hiked ever upward upon the mounatin on a clear-blue morning-sky day, the little things of the earth became our reality. Things like the thick-green moss and the dew-covered giant ferns which grew from the forest floor spoke out at us. Even the gray jay (Darwin Camp Robber) and the occasionaly chipmonk greeted us. Animal tracks, each with their own story were visible along the route. The air had that pungent forest smell which seemed rich and full of life - we breathed it in ever so deeply. And the blueberries never tasted so good . . .
