I'm here for the pretty pictures. I like what I like, and repost what I really like. None of the images are mine.

Twosday twins. Fragrant dusty rose dayilies on a hot summer day in our garden. I split some of the bigger clusters and planted most in our backyard garden. I also added a bunch of other plants to create a dense garden bed. #dayliles #dustypink #fragrantflowers #mygarden
2  glowing star like dusty rose pink daylilies with yellow throats or center on a sunny day in our garden. A few long slender pink and yellow buds are also visible near the flowers on top right side 
Shadowy green leaves are bottom left of
The picture.several long skinny curved filaments rises from the center of the flowers capped with anthers covered with pollen.

I’m always grateful when I can take a quick lunch break hike when I’m working out of town. Most of the time the lighting isn’t exactly ideal, but when it is, it’s golden.

Iceland has a lot of spectacular waterfalls, but this pair is near the top of the list for me. The scene makes me marvel at how nature could create something so beautiful. To help with scale, I estimate the upper drop to be ~50-60 feet. #timothykeeneyphotography #photography #landscapephotography

north face of Mount Shasta and Shastina Peak (lower one to the right), both nicely cloaked in snow, viewed from a public dirt road through ranch land north of Weed, CA. an ephemeral lake fills a low area. if only I had been willing to trespass to the edge for what I can only imagine would be a spectacular reflection. but I was a good boy.

A dreamy macro photo of delicate pink and lilac hydrangea florets clustered closely together. The overlapping petals reveal subtle veins and soft colour transitions. The shallow depth of field creates a gentle, blurred background of green and turquoise, enhancing the flowers’ delicate textures and giving the image a soft atmosphere.

a #lake & a #mountain #Stunday #ECK for years I have posted pics with this peak above Whiskeytown Lake & incorrectly identified it as Bully Choop. I was wrong. this is Shasta Bally, the tallest peak in the Whiskeytown National Recreation Area.
a snow-dusted Shasta Bally rises above the cool clear water of Whiskeytown Lake, reflected on the rippled surface.
the Wintu Tribe inhabited this area and called the mountain 'bohem buli' - big mountain. Bally is the rough translation of buli.
& now I'm guessing that Bully is also a rough translation.

🧵1/11 September 28, 1983, 43 years ago today: The climb of Chairback Mountain was easy, and an expanse of craggy, buckled slate gray rock cliffs around the summit had the best views of the entire range. #backpacking #hiking #AppalachianTrail
Bright sunshine with a few puffy clouds. We see only the portion of the sky right above the horizon, so it is a rather light blue. Standing atop a mountain on rugged cliffs of fractured dark gray rock. A few leafy ground-hugging shrubs in brick red and maroon autumn colors grow out of the rocks. The mountainside below us is covered with dark green spruce and fir trees with some hardwoods sporting orange and gold leaves mixed in. On a plateau a few hundred feet below is a large mountain pond reflecting the otherwise unseen deep blue of the September Maine sky above. Beyond the plateau is a country of rugged mountains and valleys. The plateau and those mountains and valleys are all predominantly the deep green of the spruce-fir forest with a few hardwoods beginning to show colors mixed in.

here's some #wilderness with a #creek in a #mountain #forest for #WildernessWednesday
up in the Trinity Mountains along Hwy 3, Scott Mountain Creek heads downstream through the Shasta-Trinity National Forest towards its confluence with Tangle Blue Creek which then merges with the Trinity River.
if there was a single highway in northern California that you could drive for sightseeing, I'd say Hwy 3 should be the one.

While photographing Little Tipsoo Lake on Thursday, I noticed a trail behind the lake and decided to follow it. A short way up, I found this view with fall color all around the trail, Little Tipsoo Lake below, and Mount Rainier in the distance. I had to sit there for a while and take it all in.
Mount Rainier rises beyond Little Tipsoo Lake and a forest of dark evergreens. A narrow trail leads between large rocks and through red, orange, and gold alpine foliage in the foreground. The scene feels bright, colorful, and inviting.
