this one wild life

The title this week plays on wildlife—alluding to the the quote about our “one precious life”— all the wild life that surrounds us and reminds us to appreciate the beauty of our own wild lives. Yesterday, I took my friend into the park (what we locals call Yellowstone NP) and casually drove up to wolves walking through the area. The wildlife sighting inspired me to note all the wildlife I’ve been fortunate enough to spot this year, 2025. Although I didn’t take pictures of most and most of the ones I do have were sent to me, I’ll share my good fortune with you. Hopefully, this doesn’t come across to you as a humble brag, rather a sweet reminder to stop, breathe, and enjoy the small lucky moments we get in our natural settings.
