Rocky Mountain Vista

The contrast between these Rocky Mountains and our Georgian Appalachians is obvious but yet unexplainable. Both mountains with pine trees, yet I could pick out this land. Maybe it’s the distance that lets you fully see the mountains from the base to the snow. Or the fields with the Rio Grande Running through. Or just the familiarity that comes from thirty years of visiting. . Just might make the trek across 3/4 of the country worth it more often. Ten years away is way too long. .
