To be honest, the ocean is zen to me. It’s where I’d most love to be. However, mountains aren’t a bad substitute. I live in Colorado with some pretty spectacular peaks. In fact, as a teacher, every year I had my students write about the mountains that we often take for granted.
The above photo I took in Telluride, Colorado, USA. Before we had kids, Kurt and I would choose a new place in Colorado every fall to go and check out the Aspens.

Mt. Princeton, Chaffee County, CO, USA. Here I am with my friend Columbine and my brother-in-law Jason. We had just crossed a pretty harrowing stretch of this “Fourteener” (a mountain at least 14,000 ft high).
