bring a tent

these are random photos, in no particular chronological order, of various mountains, hikes,  climbs, and other stuff that's been happening in the last few months.
every hike, every climb, brings new insights, new astoundments (my word, not webster's), new openings. how's it going to end?




wind and hail, clouds and rain.



waiting for the next climb.


my next home.
yeah, try sitting in padmasana in hiking boots!




our most recent climb, old woman mountain. we're related, don't you know?




mt. wilson, az.  coming down from the summit, at dusk, on the night of the full moon.


full moon, full heart.



brings a new meaning to support.

yep. bring a tent.


thank you, xkcd.com

  1. Good pictures, especially that second one.

    Did you draw that cartoon as well? Either way, it's nice to see that particular art form represented on your fine blog.

    1. thanks, kirk. no, drawing is most definitely not one of my skills. that's from xkcd.com, a site i highly recommend you visit. have to figure out a way to give credit for that cartoon.

  2. Astoundments is a good word, so is boots, full, support and Tom. Great pictures for a great adventure. Who cares how it ends.

  3. I may move into that cave just next to this one. A good retreat in the winter months.

  5. I'm not so sure about the long walks on the beach, though. There's no mountains there unless you're at the western base of the Andes...
