gray jay day

Today was gray jay day. At a rest stop overlooking the scenic but foggy Tintina Trench, the gray jays were very bold. Used to charming the tourists, no doubt.
The Tintina Trench is an avian flyway and rich in wildlife. A linear valley, it marks the line between two tectonic plates. And the meeting of those tectonic plates explains the gold found in the Klondike. Everything on earth is constantly recycled. The gold in the crust is brought to the surface, and eventually, through the forces of nature, will be subsumed back into the earth.
