Looking out from the shelter provided by giant trees while waiting for the rain to slow before we hit the water for a paddle around the Acous Peninsula on Vancouver Island, CA.

Ocean view
A nice quiet view to start the week. Looking into the pacific ocean on a quiet morning.
The Calm Before
Calm water and a funky sky hours before a major storm blew through. Rain and wind all night had us holding onto the tent poles to prevent a collapse. A little vinegar in the stew makes it just a bit more flavorful. Angmagssalik fjord, Greenland.
Well Rooted
Life just seems easier when we are firmly rooted. Zero image pinhole camera and Kodak Tmax film.
Like Music
Trees on an islet making music with the water and sky. Vancouver Island, BC.
Coneflowers
The coneflowers are sure making the most of the summer sun.
Mt Moran
Dark clouds behind Mt Moran and the sun coming up in the east made for a beautiful morning on oxbow bend in GTNP.
Shoshone Lake Sunset
A quiet evening on Shoshone Lake in Yellowstone National Park is capped off with a wonderful sunset through the pristine forest.
On a Sunless Summer Day
While camped at the meadows edge I look into a forest half dead.
The beetles’ have had their way.
The clouds got thicker and a late afternoon shower moved in from behind.
The rain came and the skies cleared but the pines in this forest will take longer to return if they do at all.
Ecosystems are dying or being destroyed around the around the globe.
From the polar regions to the tropical jungles to the coral reefs and the grasslands in-between.
We know this to be true.
Yes, there is untold beauty all around, but it’s becoming harder to see when looking into natures mirror on a sunless summer day.
Mt Zirkel Wilderness, CO.

Mosquito Netting
While out on a hike we ran across a couple of trees in which a spider had put up between 3-7 of these wonderful mosquito nets and each was loaded with bugs. We never were able to see the owner of these webs but it sure looks like they will be eating well for the rest of the summer. Any yes, the mosquitos were bad out there that day.
