Soon they were all sitting on the rocky ledge, which was still warm, watching the sun go down into the lake. It was the most beautiful evening, with the lake as blue as a cornflower...

Country picnics always sound nicer than they are. I think we should just have the idea of them, and be pleased with it, and then not go. The only true pleasures are indoors, artificial, and...

We used to play a lot outdoors, not in leagues, but just in our spare time.

Water, water, water….There is no shortage of water in the desert but exactly the right amount , a perfect ratio of water to rock, water to sand, insuring that wide free open, generous spacing among...

I never knew I liked to be outside so much. I never knew I liked lochs and views and that, but I could seriously handle living in a cottage by the side of somewhere like...

I was drinking in the surroundings: air so crisp you could snap it with your fingers and greens in every lush shade imaginable offset by autumnal flashes of red and yellow.

Fishing is much less about the fishing, and much more about the time alone with your kid, away from the hustle and bustle of the everyday.

Even the sick should try these so-called dangerous passes, because for every unfortunate they kill, they cure a thousand.

I routinely use my blue sky ‘device’ and it works very well for me.

He stood there a moment, listened to the creek, and let the mountain air blow against his face. Even with all this heartache, it was beautiful here.

We made love outdoors—without a roof, I like most, without stove, my favorite place, assuming the weather be fair and balmy, and the earth beneath be clean. Our souls intertwined and dripping with dew, and...

Having a pleasant time can extend a long period of time to have a fun time.

I’m a big outdoorsman… I’m a big hunter. Avid fisherman. Hiker. Climber. Scuba diver. Skier. Love the outdoors.

Rarely will I write indoors, even if it means getting wet during rain, or my hands numb in winter.
