This is a post I wrote on my Facebook page in April of 2019. It’s even truer today than it was at the time.

Dear Baldy,
You have provided an abundance of life affirming beauty to my life. Not to mention, the amazing beauty you have added to those to whom I share.
I feel a profound sense of responsibility, of stewardship, on your behalf.
Life in the wild is difficult, and it’s a battle to survive – if ever I find you in distress, if ever I find you in need of help, I will always do everything within my power to provide that assistance.
That’s my promise to you!
I am your friend. I am your fan. I am your advocate.

Sincerely yours,
Rich Proctor
Beautiful Rich!
Thank you Ellen.
