Summer's Last Hike






Tomorrow I start the drive back to California, so today I took one last hike.

A neighbor and I hiked up Yellow Mountain to look down on Trout Lake.

With a close-up lens, I could see my family's cabin where I was staying.


In the distance were (left to right) El Diente, Mount Wilson, and Gladstone Peak.


A stormy day with a bit of rain while hiking--but as glorious as ever.

For one breathless moment we watched a buck whom we had disturbed; then he bounded off.
