Alta's Pull













The barren summit of 11,204-foot Alta Peak beckoning shortly after crossing the last straggling trees that cling to these upper slopes.  Smoke was in the air making for a hazy afternoon as the Redwood Fire burned in the nearby Redwood Meadow Grove.  Sequoia National Park, September 16, 2023 with my Dad.

Paradise Creek Poppies


 California poppies in bloom along the Paradise Creek Trail in Sequoia National Park, as seen earlier this spring (late April, 2023).  What a beautiful wildflower bloom we had this year with all the rain!

Wooden Walls of the Giant Forest

Standing in the silent strength of the Giant Forest.  These trees have done well this year, being watered deeply by a record-breaking winter with the most snow the Southern Sierra has seen in decades.  I feel wonderfully blessed to be able to walk in the company of these great trees which have stood many tests of time.  Photo captured by me in June 2023.
