#Whitebarkpine🌲Ancient roots on solid #WALLOWA batholith granite. Trees that are here to stay...
Thinking ahead to Lakes Basin, Northside WALLOWA LAKE, or HURRICANE VALLEY, or LOSTINE VALLEY, or what I love to do, CORNUCOPIA PEAK (c. 2700 m) and the Southside.

A mountain range with a dusting of snow reflected in water below with farmland between. The day is sunny, the sky is clear.

Photograph of alpine landscape overlooking an expansive view of granite mountain scenery. A sparsely wooded ridge is in the foreground, behind which a deep mountain valley drops out of sight, with a ridge of summits beyond and still more distant ridges on the horizon. The sky is full of fairly subdued blue and orange sunset clouds, and a slight haze of wildfire smoke is perceptible. The highest mountain ridge has the faintest blush of reddish light from the last rays of sun.
Soft sunset, a little smoke in the mix
#landscapephotography #inlandnorthwest #easternoregon #wallowa
Landscape photograph of a high mountain scene lit by warm evening light. Peach colored sunlight glows on a foreground outcrop of granite and granite sand and illuminates a pale humpy peak laced with sparse subalpine conifers. The sky is mostly light blue, though with a bright and subtly yellow patch of smoky air at top left.
At last, something recent

Family vacation backpacking the #Wallowa High Route in the Wallowa Mountains of northeastern Oregon. Grueling and glorious. Backpacking makes the best family vacations, because you're stuck together without screens facing common challenges from hills to streams to mosquitoes. Some photos:

#trekking 🌲 Roots of an ancient #Whitebarkpine on solid #WALLOWA batholith granite. 2500m
This patience of trees.
An unmovable trust of the Earth
upon which they stand,
Nets, weaving themselves
into the LIGHT,
the DARK,
growing in all directions.

A wire fence line runs across the bottom of the photo. Most of the scene is a field of yellow and green grasses. The setting sun behind the camera casts hues of pink to the hills in the back and in the blue sky beyond.
