Kate Morgan Reade: TOTALLY agree with Liz Gauffreau and Danny Hoback -- "I love the little lambkin sunworshippers" and "Love those three beetles (and) the salamander."

Kate Morgan Reade: BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL photography, flush with color and life.

Your postings are full of love of life and healing.

Exactly the right medicine.

As I write this, the news is horrific, with a Molotov-cocktail-wielding terrorist, who set peaceful demonstrators on fire. Thankfully, the terrorist is in custody, and the FBI is on the scene.

May God protect the good people of Boulder, CO.

Boulder borders the ridges of the Rocky Mountains -- which are among the most beautiful of world sites that I have experienced.

My God, I LOVE those mountain trails, where your fellows are grazing mountain goats and chipmunks.

On one of the trails, by careful observation, I was able clearly to distinguish INDIVIDUALS among ostensibly "like-marked chipmunks".

How miraculous and wondrous is Mother Nature, and your columns reflect that wonder and beauty.

Getting to know individual critters is such a privilege, I agree! Be sure to read Kent's post about Edgar Winter, the albino squirrel, as well as meet some of his human and non-human neighbors:

Honestly, I think the Earth and all her life (for soil and rocks are alive as well as plants and creatures) are our hope for saving our shared planet. They give us everything, including the strength to deal with the ravages our species has wrought on everything.

Love those three beetles; the salamander; especially the lamb soaking up the sun.
