A Hike in the Boise Foothills
Vincent J. Fortunato • May 28, 2019
Shared moments both timeless and priceless
Here is Vincent's Profound Photo for this month.
The beautiful image and description are particularly meaningful to me because I'm the person on the trail ahead. Friendship is something you can't buy and gorgeous days and landscapes are items you can't buy either, they are gifts - blessings - in our lives. Experiences we share are unforgettable. The combination, as Vincent writes, can be endlessly profound.
Note the especially meaningful verse at the end. It's a haiku.
Nicely done brother.

Normally, I like to publicly display, whether in print or on the internet, my more artistic photographs. However, this photograph is profound, not because it displays a beautiful and artistically displayed timeless moment, but rather because is it a simple depiction of taking a hike in the Boise foothills (Five Mile Gulch) on a gorgeously sunny day on a solemn holiday (Memorial Day) with a dear friend and spiritual brother.
Such shared moments are both timeless and priceless.
Verse:
Irreverently,
two friends share thoughts and silence
while hiking. Profound.
