Snow is here! Wheeeeee! Digging my skis out today to enjoy winter.

Skiers at Bowman Lake
Glacier National Park

Four skiers stand on the frozen lake covered with snow and ski tracks. Blue skies are overhead with snow-covered peaks in the background.

The mountains are calling.
A person in a white sweater jogs down a dirt road surrounded by rocky desert terrain, with the Sierra Nevada mountains glowing gold in the sunrise. The vast scene emphasizes isolation, scale, and the dramatic contrast between the warm morning light and the cool shadows. A smiling man in a white sweater and beanie stands on a winding mountain road at sunrise, with Half Dome illuminated in the distance. Tall trees frame the scene, and the sky glows with soft yellow and blue tones. A man stands on a rocky overlook facing Half Dome, his back turned as he looks toward the hazy blue ridgelines stretching across Yosemite Valley. The early light and streaked clouds create a serene, contemplative atmosphere. A man in a bright red jacket smiles as he hikes through a snowy forest, with evergreen branches dusted in fresh snow in the foreground. Jagged mountain peaks rise softly blurred behind him, adding depth and a sense of winter adventure.

Happy Sunday! I love finding unknown canyons in rarely visited places. So many gems when you spend the time and effort to get out and look around.

This tree had so much character; bowing and pointing to the Navajo Sandstone Buttes behind it.

September evening in the forest, Woodtick Trail, Wolcott, Connecticut. September 23, 2020, 5:34 PM.

#hiking #forest
It is early evening and we are walking through the forest towards a dazzling sun shining through the trees ahead. The sun is rather low in the sky, creating long shadows and swaths of golden evening sunlight. The forest floor is a lush carpet of green ferns, with a few rocky patches, particularly around a low hill to our right. A small dead tree in the left foreground has been broken a few feet above its base, the top part laying on the ground pointing towards the sun.

These were taken at Moon House on Cedar Mesa. The one that appears to be a blur is actually the inside of a room littered with 800 year old corn cobs!

May 12, 1983: I also wandered a while along the now-wooded crest of a 5000-footer called Silers Bald before descending to cross a narrow strip of state road in Wayah Gap.

#backpacking #hiking #AppalachianTrail
A bright sunny day but very hazy, with a whitewashed sky and distant vistas ghosted. We are high up a mountainside looking out through a thicket of rhododendron and budding hardwoods at a nearby ridge. It has some dark green clusters of evergreens, but is mostly covered with the bright greens of new spring leaves and tree buds. A second ridge not far beyond this one is a faint blue green ghost in the haze.

Blue flag iris, Scoville Reservoir loop, Wolcott, Connecticut. June 5, 2020, 6:45 PM.

#hiking #spring #wildflowers
On a forest floor carpeted with last autumn's brown and crumpled fallen leaves a tall wildflower grows. It has narrow, pointed bright green leaves and long, narrow blue-violet petals that are also rather pointed. A plant with broad, fat leaves grows in the background.

Monumental: Castleton Tower meets cloud

#BlueSkyArtShow #EastCoastKin #Landscapephotography #cloud #rockformation #Utah #blackandwhite #classicmono
A sharp spire of rock reaches skyward in front of a billowing cloud, lit at the top by the setting sun. The well-defined strata of the rock stands in sharp contrast to the wispy, soft lines of the cloud mass behind.

Old woods road in autumn. Sleeping Giant State Park, Hamden, Connecticut. October 27, 2022, 3:26 PM.

#hiking #autumn #forest
The sky is clear, cloudless and deep blue. Offscreen right, the sun is low in the sky, casting long shadows to our left. The afternoon sunlight is slightly tinted gold (it is not quite golden hour, but getting there). We are walking down a wide old woods road, long ago abandoned to any use other than foot travel. The old road and the forest floor surrounding it are carpeted with freshly fallen brightly colored leaves. There is a shrub with bright red leaves in the lower left. Much of the underbrush has lost its leaves, most of what's left is bright golds and oranges. The trees are at peak autumn color, bright greens, oranges and golds.

🥶 November on the 14ers = beauty + danger.
Cold, short days & icy trails mean it’s time to hike smart.
Get prepped with “Hiking 14ers in November” from The Next Summit

Hiking 14ers in November | Tips for Safe & Successful Summits | The Next Summit: A Mountain Blog
Temperatures on the fourteeners range from 40 F to -10 F in the month of November. It's one reason why hiking 14ers in November is so unpredictable.
