Something about this scene is special...still thinking about it.
Sugarloaf from another position.
Sun lights up a peak before the storm.
Jen heads down after the storm passes.
Who are you looking at, fella? This is a second cousin to the couple that we photographed a few weeks back. We think the relationship is on the mother's side.
It's about the light.
And that's Camel Hump from another angle as well.
If we hadn't stopped for breakfast, I was told, we might have missed the storm. Had we not had breakfast, the fall-out might have been greater. Heads you lose, tails you...
Jen rushes for her poncho...the rain has arrived in the left corner.
I don't know whether I have to pitch or get wacked. Lightning storms bring out a strange part of Jenni. And on a freeway, too?
This was an unusual hike, shorter than usual, as we were rather tired after a tough set of previous outings. We decided to keep up the momentum but at a slower pace rather than declare it a rest day. We introduced George a few weeks ago. He's a tough little dog, versatile and not without personality. George determines whether he will join you for a hike. He also gets under one's feet which is exacerbated on the narrow edges. He has not learned much etiquette of the slopes. However, he makes up for it by sheer entertainment and staying power.
On occasions, he'll disappear at which time we'd become nervous that the mutt is lost. After calling out for a while, we notice after a short gap, he'll return. He does it in a nonchalant manner. Jenni has taken to George and I think the sentiment is mutual. However, he is often aloof but that may just be George not wishing to show too much affection and allow us to believe we're good friends. As guests are only resident for a day or a few, we believe George avoids relationships. For example, we purchased dog-treats for our second visit. We found that when we offered them to him, he played hard-to-get. He turned up his nose and walked away. A short while later, the treats were gone. We know that nobody else ate them.
We'll miss George...but only a little.
Guess who and George, as we stop at a camp.
Water, water everywhere and plenty for George to drink.
Cheers,
Jenni and Jeffrey
