I love Jack's face as he's riding back to camp at dawn after his first night out with the sheep - how it's ruddy with the cold, but calm and accepting of the cold, too.  Makes me actually feel the bite of it in the air (and want to put my warm cheek against his cold one to warm him up a bit  ;)).

I love that after the second tent scene, Ennis is actually contemplating spending another summer on brokeback. When they're 'entanglin' them chilean sheep outa ours' Jack is so mad he says F*ck Aguirre and Ennis answers:'what if we need to work for him again?'
Of course by the time they come down form the mountain, reality has kicked in.

I love the way Ennis sings softly to himself when he's riding towards the point at which he's going to "come up on a bear" and how it's the same way (same song, even?) he's singing softly to Jack in the dozy embrace flashback.  Makes me think he's thinking about Jack the first time he's singing it, too.

I love the way Jack looks down from his mountain camp with the sheep and sees Ennis as a spot of fireglow.  So much stuff going on in that heart and mind.

Mmmmm.  That's some shot, isn't it?  The first time I saw it, I thought it couldn't be real.  And the scenary was nice, too.  ;)

I love the way Ennis spends the day with Jack and the sheep the next day after their "Hell, that's the most I've spoke in a year" and "The hell they are" conversation - the day after story Ennis felt he could paw the white out of the moon, he'd had such a good time.

I love Jack taking off his own bandanna and using that to start cleaning Ennis's head wound. Such an intimate gesture, the first caress?

I love everything about that summer, only thing I don't like is that it ended.

I love that few months out of their lives brought them together and shaped their destiny like that.  I love that summer because Ennis got what was possibly his first glimpse into loving and falling in love.  :)

I love Ennis in the stream washing the breakfast dishes, looking up and seeing the tiny spot that is Jack up on the mountain. Such a touching indication of his expanding heart for Jack.

I love the way Ennis sits wringing his hands in front of the fire as he gathers the courage to go into the tent with Jack.
