I think you would fit right in! Would probably be the life of the party. Thank you very much, Sharron!

This paragraph: 'the waterfall at my claim's boundary shimmered off the boulders, looking no closer or farther away than the burned out mountain ridge to the northeast, the snowcapped peak behind it, the tall pines on the north slope or the eddying current below the fire pit.

Beautiful , my friend. Such great imagery.
