"At the still point of the turning world. Neither flesh nor fleshless;
Neither from nor towards; at the still point, there the dance is,
But neither arrest nor movement. And do not call it fixity,
Where past and future are gathered. Neither movement from nor towards,
Neither ascent nor decline. Except for the point, the still point,
There would be no dance, and there is only the dance."

T. S. Eliot

Glacier National Park

We came across this mother/child (nanny/kid?) on a well used hiking path from Logan Pass to the Hidden Lake Viewpoint.  Because the area is so heavily used by us humans, the wildlife tend to go about their business, ignoring us as long as we stay ten feet away or so. Oddly, this affords a great opportunity to observe wildlife in their natural, daily routines.

I swear the kid is giving her mom a smooch, but was told by someone else its a cleansing behavior?

This is clearly an act of love. I've kissed some old goats in my time and that's pretty much what it looks like. :) Great shot! Can't believe you were that close.
