Two Views of Pipestone Canyon

We got out twice in recent days to hike around Pipestone Canyon – once with Molly and Mary and again with Angus and Marcy. The first day was sunny with a bad inversion that kept smoke down in the valley. Yesterday was gray with thick fog at times. The first day we went to the east side of the canyon up to the overlook and yesterday the west side and through the canyon bottom. Different views of an amazing geologic wonder here in the Methow.

Luna is a little under the weather this week.

Cool rocks.

Scenes From a Roadtrip, Part Five

In Oregon again. I thought another misty morning would be good for photographing the water but then, to my surprise, the sun came out.

These two Common Ravens greeted me when I got out of my car to walk the dogs. Well, one raven greeted me, the other one hung back. Clearly, the first raven was bossing around the second raven. I believe they had me confused with someone who had fed them in the past. And the gull was just hanging out.

We enjoyed walks on beaches. This one is in California. The morning began with a thick misty fog that gradually lifted but it never was sunny.
