I was just here for the cat and dog photos, now .. I am a liberal and a conservative (depends on how the topic is defined). I am progressive. I don't understand people that want to stay stuck in the past. We can debate how far, how fast, what's the cost...

Arch Rock on Mackinac Island. Beautiful bike ride to get to the 200 and some odd steps to view. Extra steps mean extra beer allowed after 😁

Traveling Interstate 80 westbound across Wyoming, I stopped at the Point of Rocks exit to take pictures of storm clouds. This pic is different from my usual fare. It's not something we see every day! #photography #storms #travel #Wyoming
In the foreground, dry cracked mud. Railroad tracks cut through the center. Beyond the horizon, a storm is brewing. In the top center of the image, a utility pole with 4 crossarms stands, holding multiple wires.

The kitchen garden has decided courgettes are now our main crop, especially the organic Luneor. So I did the decent thing and baked a courgette cake - zucchini bread for our American cousins. Not too bad, if I say so myself. #ediblegarden ₊˚⊹♡🍰🥒♡⊹˚₊
A courgette cake (zucchini bread) sits on an old rustic wooden board on a grey marble table, with several slices already cut and laid out in front. Beside it is a plate with a slice of cake, a Buckels knife resting nearby, and a cup of coffee just behind. In the background is a bowl of freshly picked Luneor and Romanesco courgettes from the kitchen garden, next to a vase full of sweet peas given to us by our friend Sally B.

Clouds obscured the sun yesterday morning, but the Bay still put on a show. The breeze made the time on the beach much more pleasant.

Stump of a lodgepole pine tree. The tree was cut as part of a wildfire mitigation project in Colorado. Overcrowded forests increase the danger of disastrous crown fires. Thinning the forest helps reduce the risk. #photography #forestry
The stump of a recently cut lodgepole pine tree. The inner portion is dry and gray. The outer portion, the sapwood, is yellow from resin.

For #ForestFriday, pics from Aug. 1, 2017. It was a long drive down a rock-strewn road. I often had to stop to remove rocks from my path. Steep ground, hot day. I cooled off in the river afterward. NE Oregon where Wallowa and Grande Ronde Rivers join. #forestry #nature #rivers
A Toyota Tacoma is parked on a remote gravel road in a forest. In front of it are large rocks that can potentially scrape the bottom of the truck. On the right side of the road is a talus slope where the rocks have fallen from.A view down a steep slope covered with dry grass, towards the Wallowa River. The hills on the far side of the river are mainly forested. Branches of a ponderosa pine frame the top of the image.

Another for #WaterfallWednesday, the Ellery Lake Falls on the way up to Yosemite National Park. Travel hint: if you want to avoid the huge lines to get in to the park, travel from the East along Highway 120 (Tioga Pass). #photography #ECK #WCK #MickPic #MickTrip #RoadTrip #Yosemite #NationalParks
Ellery Lake Falls is an approximately 75-foot-tall waterfall located in Mono County, California, just outside the eastern entrance of Yosemite National Park. It is situated at the top of Tioga Pass Canyon, occurring almost immediately after Lee Vining Creek drops over the Ellery Lake dam.
Location and Viewing
Access: The falls are found along Highway 120 (Tioga Pass Road), roughly 8.5 miles west of Lee Vining and 2 miles east of the Tioga Pass entrance to Yosemite.
Vantage Point: Best viewed from roadside pull-offs or a large turnout on the left (downhill) side of Highway 120. It is not possible to get close to the falls due to the extremely steep canyon terrain.
Surroundings: The area sits at a high elevation of approximately 9,500 feet and is part of the Inyo National Forest

For #WaterfallWednesday the Wahkeena Falls, on the way to nearby Multnomah Falls. Anybody who lives in, or who has visited, the #PNW has hopefully been along the gorgeous views of the many waterfalls here. A gentler cascade. #Photography #MickPic #PNW #WCK #ECK #MickTrip #RoadTrips #Oregon
This image depicts a lush, forested scene featuring a cascading waterfall in the Columbia River Gorge.
Location: The site is identified as Wahkeena Falls, located along the Historic Columbia River Highway in Oregon.
Features: The area is characterized by dense vegetation, moss-covered rocks, and vibrant green ferns surrounding the flowing water.
Recreation: A popular hiking trail, the Wahkeena Trail, leads visitors up through the canyon to view the falls from different angles, including a viewpoint bridge
