Forgetting hardships

I’m going back on the trail

What magic awaits?

Snow clings to a tree

Hanging like some giant sloth

Water dripping sound

Hiking up steep trails

with head down….I ignore pain

search for heart-shaped rocks

Snow clings to a tree

like game cooking on a spit

that’ll melt in your mouth

From alpine tundra

Descending into Elk Creek

Autumn and the trail

Snowshoeing with friends

Studying snow conditions

Mountains and sunshine

Windy cold sunset

Better dive in the tent soon

Time for one last pee

Climbing in Winter

the avalanche beacon sound

becomes my mantra

Another photo from my distant past.  We all wore avalanche transceivers so that if anyone got buried in an avalanche, hopefully, someone would be able to locate that person and dig him/her out quickly.  The only sound I could hear other than silence and my breathing was the faint beep of my transceiver.

Cloud-shaded mountains

A patchwork of Fall colors

Ever-changing gifts

Mother and her sons

explore a small mystery

Looking and learning
