Yikes! Hope your timing for hiking stays on the safe side! Pretty cool that half BnW.... but weird that BSKY would do that !? On the bright side, it DID tend to emphasize the RockinTuesday theme.

We'd been following someone's tracks thru the snow until I started getting a bit uneasy (no signal way up in them there hills!) So that lovely pattern was us turning around. Didn't have to worry about other traffic much. But perhaps the snow got a bit deep at the edges. Made for a cool overheadshot.

I've been hanging in there. Simply don't get out a whole lot these days. Perhaps someday when the stars align just right, we'll bump into each other! 🤗

My folks sent me pictures of that one when the tree fell on the old garage... Luckily it missed the house. I had to drive an hour up in the hills to find snow back then...

I remember when I first moved to California... where you had the option to "visit" snow, but didn't have to deal with it the rest of the time. These days we may get a small dusting to wake up to on a very rare occasion. Gone before you even think of shoveling.
Then again... perhaps a half hour's drive up into the hills... it's there to play in!

Thank you, Robin. So happy you enjoyed it. Someone went to a whole lot of work for this display. I love the playful sense of humor.

My (our) encounter was quite some time ago and I don't clearly remember any details. Seems that for some reason there wasn't a chance to capture any pics, but if there was, they didn't turn out well. I can picture you scurrying after this one. I DO have a memory of how fast they move! 😲

Looks like you may have been a lot closer than I may have attempted. Hairy bugger! I remember driving down a road in Utah years back when there was a long parade of these critters crossing to the other side. Spooky!

Stumbled across this unique view of the marine layer imitating waves... #TidesOutTuesday #EastCoastKin #ECK #ColorADay #BlueTue
Seems like there's hardly ever a dull moment along the Pacific coast. 
I caught this moment of the tide leaving remnants of wave action on the sandy beach where the waves withdraw back to sea. Fog drifts down toward the ocean along the river valley also headed toward the sea. I'd never seen the unique marine layer mimicking wave action out near the horizon quite like this before.

Thought this might be of interest. Portland getting a few more folks to try out a bike commute. www.opb.org/article/2026...

I fell in love with this phenomenon of hills with trees popping out of the fog way back when I first visited Big Sur, well over 50 years ago.... it makes me stop in my tracks for a photo whenever I've come across it.

Thanks, Alina. It's one of my favorites as well! I'm doing well! Wishing that progress on my project to organize my pictures and the house since our last move has been going a LOT slower than I might have wished, but it'll feel good once I get things under control... at least a bit. 🤞

A forest in the fog.... #ForestFriday #EastCoastKin #ECK
For anyone wondering.... I'm still plowing ahead in my desperate search for order. It seems to be two sets forward and one and a half back.... but we soldier on.
Thanks to those still dropping in to check on me!!!

HAPPY FRIDAY everyone! #ForestFriday #Scape #EastCoastKin #ECK
Will she EVER return? 
My quest to inject some order into my many 'backups' and scattered folders seems to be having some success, but there are obstacles and side trips that appear to keep extending the end to this tunnel I'm in.....
IF I can only keep at it and not get discouraged or give up, it will (hopefully) be worth the effort... rather than the usual outcome of giving up in abject disgust and frustration...
I am not and never have been a very organized person.
But I DO love the friends I've found (and neglected) here at BlueSKY!!!
