A Random selection of more Highlights of a Wondrous World.

As we await the resumption of Hike-about, we continue to flip through images in our minds of fascinating places we have visited and in some cases, endured. Whilst we are hiking twice a week and exercising on the other days, the thought of fresh and exciting challenges awaiting us keeps the mind focused.

Set out below are a random selection of photographs that we may not have displayed before, although similar ones would be on the blog.

Mount Woodson, Poway: Three hikes in one blog while we wait for Chamonix. Call back the recent past, too.

We're back on a working vacation in San Diego, (whatever that means). Meantime, we look forward to the realization of our plans for the rest of the year. As the world is an enormously large planet from the perspective of 'walkers', it does seem that we are not being efficient, camped down in Rancho Bernardo. We are currently living in a 'senior development' which is proving to be superb. The mature generation is calm, has less ego than the youngsters and is certainly quieter. What a pleasure to be amongst them. As one youngster mentioned to Jenni and me last year, while working out in the gym: "When I get to your age, I hope to be like the two of you." Talk about a back-handed compliment. Our faces are still stinging. Nevertheless, it is most enjoyable living with those in the golden era. We wrote a piece about our opening week which can be read by clicking...'Living on the road'

Take care!



Because of our 'good' sense of direction, we guess we are facing east at 6am.




The previous week we were facing west.




Ramona Lake below.




Back to full strength, a tough, old bird...oops, I mean boulder.




Another hike, viewing the development and Woodson golf course. After a hike, a game of golf soothes the nerves or
maybe, it's the other way around.




Some exciting cloud formations even though rain is about 5 months away.




Looking bleak but is actually moments after sunrise.




A mountain and region with many boulders. A marine layer over La Jolla.




Jenni stands on the peak, probably close to the 70th occasion on Woodson.



Call Back the Recent Past.


4S-Ranch under cloud one beautiful morning, most are beautiful.




Woodson for the birds.




Heavy mist to the East





Jen hides from the sun.




Discovering a new perch at our old haunt. (Talk of missing the spotlight.)




Now that's a sunrise over clouds



Cheers,
