246) National Geographic Video

I just came upon this video, and thought it was great. You may have to sit through a commercial in the beginning, but push through it- the video is rad.


Another quick note, notice in the opening shots he is wearing Outdoor Research gear- easily some of the best outerwear you can buy.

245) Here and There


These first two shots I took this morning. Nick and I were planning a hike for today, but he cancelled unexpectedly early this morning. Having already left the house when I got word of this, I decided to take a walk around an area I have been interested in since I got here. I was heading back to my car just as the sun broke over the mountains and saw this tree from within its shadow, the light making it glow (above picture).





These next two are from the Chicago Lakes area, the first from along that trail. The second is Echo Lake, which is right on the road and acts as an access point the the trail and as a picnic area.


This last shot is from off the porch during the first snow storm of this season.
