Went to the lake today. The air was sweet, Russian olives, I imagine. I saw several Gt. Blue Herons, not too close though. It was just nice being outside. Sad that I saw obits in the Denver Post of two people I knew. One a photographer who used to live in the San Luis Valley and the other a nationally storyteller I met while living in the Valley. Both died too young of cancer. It's a terrible disease.
