Feeling a little Hypocritical

This past weekend I went on an adventure to take some pictures.  This was one of my favorite pictures!  I instantly loved this picture, the different shades of green, the purple, the reds, the yellow and then I saw it.
That blue and silver color at the bottom.  Once I noticed it, that was all I could see.  I was furious that someone would just throw their garbage out the window and mar the beautiful mountain.  To be honest, this is not the first time I have gone on this rant, people that litter really, really irritate me.  (That is putting it nicely) 
The next day I ran into this tree.  Seeing it brought an instant smile to my face as I was reminded of the memory of it all.  Then it hit me, what a huge hypocrite I am.  I was furious over someone who threw out garbage that will only last a short time in the elements, yet I defaced a tree with something that will there forever.  Which was of course my intent when I placed the names on this tree.  In my defense, I did this 15 years ago and would not do it today.  So, maybe that means I have matured.  Anyway, still feel a little hypocritical, but I am learning from my mistakes.
