"Let's go see the aspens!" I told my husband a few weeks ago. 'But the post title says something about a glacier' you might be thinking....yes, well, if you're along for the ride and you don't want to plan the day's outing, then you get what you get ('and you don't throw a fit,' as they say in preschool)! This particular outing, I got a glacier and a few aspens. I think it will become a new running joke between me and my husband......although I'm thinking he's thinking it's not a very funny joke! I do appreciate his drive to explore our surroundings, his willingness to drive as we explore those surroundings and my desire to simply sit in the passenger seat armed with my camera. I think he does feel a little bad that our outing was more about ice than leaves, but there's always next year's fall colors, I suppose. I have to admit, being able to touch North America's southernmost glacier is nothing to trivialize. But now that we've 'been there, done that', I'm still dreaming of the day I can walk a trail in a forest of aspen hearing their quaking leaves and seeing their beautiful foliage. Maybe next year.......
