some pics from this week's trip to takakkaw falls
two hotdogs being roasted over a ridiculously tiny fire in a camp stove, that stove is about the size of a jetboil, or a 2L pop. it is dark and there's not much else to seea ludicrously large, jumbo-sized marshmallow (seriously there are only 15 of these in a normal sized bag) roasting on a stick over the same tiny wood-burning camp stove. a s'more made with that ridiculous marshmallow, it is oozing out all 4 sides of the graham crackera photo looking straight up at the stars in the woods, the milky way is visible, and there are black silhouettes of trees reaching into the all 4 sides of the frame

i wish i was this cat i just found on tumblr, every action i take should bring me closer along the path to being more like this cat i just found on tumblr
screenshot of a tumblr post by hollowstarfarerveyeteran, three pictures of a white and sandy orange cat nestled in some tallish grass. the first, he's lying in a shrimp shape, paws all curly, the second he's rolling over, more of a croissant shape, in the third he's stretched out, eyes closed. he looks extremely happy and relaxed, and the pale, pastel-y colour palette suits his lifestyle very well

here's a columbia ice field time stack, the wind was all kinds of unpleasant but at least it made the clouds move a lot
slightly blue-tinted black and white photo of a glacial runoff lake with the glacier receding into the background behind the mountains, the mountains are covered in snow, cut through with harsh shadows. The sky has been stacked from 32 photos, so the clouds have an uncanny repetitive texture from their own motion over time, the sun is obscured by clouds and has a smooth circular glow.
