The wrapped beetle and the spider were both gone a few hours after I took these photos in my backyard. Presumably blown off by the wind that picked up in the mean time…

Are you sure you know what you are doing?
I am sure that is what my friend was thinking as she watched me fidget about my camera.
Burned in the right side to reveal some details on the column. Because of pandemic precautions, we were allowed only 5 hours in the dark room. I had to hurry to make prints. I didn’t realized I had burned in her left-hand sleeve a little too much…

High Sierra Camps Loop
On August 8, 2021 I embarked on a 7 days/6 nights backpacking trip with my niece and brother-in-law. This is one last vacation before the niece starts high school.
Unlike glory days of past such as seen on this article, campgrounds are all in various degrees of disrepair. There is no tap water. On this trip we brought everything we need to survive 7 days, and have rely on own filter for hydration.
Water was a serious challenge at the Sunrise campground. We didn’t stop at one of sunrise lakes to take water in from 2.3 miles away, so we had to scrounge for water from a puddle a mile north. Thanks to the nice lady that was having lunch at the campground on Wednesday, August 11. She happened to have traveled past this water source on her way south from the Cathedral Lake.
Now for some more snaps on iPhone
