When I'm out in the mountains I'm almost always doing something, going somewhere, climbing some mountain, exploring a creek for fishing, etc.. I occasionally do get some quiet times where I just sit quietly and enjoy the nature, but my mom is always telling me I should slow down and just enjoy being out there without having to always do this or that adventure. So reading your post just had me thinking "yup, mom is right, I really do need to try to slow down a bit when I'm out". I'm sure getting to watch all these animals was such an awesome experience!! And you really got some great photos of them.
