Good day!

Smoke. It arrived during the night. The Index was 56 when I went to bed, and 189 when I woke up.

It’s coming from Oregon and Washington, mostly. In Spokane, which is 200 miles straight west of me, 600 homes were destroyed.

No rain is in the forecast.

Be everwell.

Looking over the top of the trees in a conifer forest, the view includes a valley and the wooded mountains beside it. The sky is hazy.

    The image depicts a serene beach scene with a sandy foreground leading to a grassy area. In the foreground, the sand is marked with footprints, indicating recent human activity. The sand transitions into a patch of green grass with small white flowers, adding a touch of color to the scene. The beach extends towards the right, where a few people can be seen walking along the shore. In the background, a large, steep, grass-covered mountain rises dramatically, partially shrouded in clouds, creating a striking contrast with the sandy beach. The sky is overcast, with gray clouds dominating the scene, suggesting a cool or temperate climate. The ocean is visible on the right side, with gentle waves lapping at the shore. The overall composition of the image highlights the natural beauty and tranquility of the coastal landscape.

      Photo of tall waterfall in green forest. The waterfall pours over a steep rock cliff and into a pool of water which also has a smaller waterfall pouring from it.

This is Crystal Cascades. I took this pic on my hike last month on Tuckerman Ravine Trail in the Presidential Range, White Mountains, NH.

        Good day,

        It's so long since we had clouds here. Clouds add drama and variety to the sky. In remembrance of clouds, I'll look back.

        Be everwell.

        The view looks down through clouds at a valley, the golden grass in the foreground wet. There are low clouds, but also those that are higher.

              I wanted to capture the sunset from the peak - I had a suspicion that the sky would light up for and match the flowers. On my descent I stepped funny, bending my ankle and reinjuring my recently sprained ankle again! I then hiked 8km solo in the dark down to camp, I didn't make it back till midnight. Hiking out the final 9km of trail the following morning was very hard!

                  A Highlands Cascade” — A small creek tumbes down a hillside, Isle of Skye.

                  I live in s place (San Francisco Bay Area of California) that isn’t exactly a desert, but it also is not particularly wet. Virtually all of our rainfall comes during a mostly-winter rainy season that lasts just a few months, and the rest of the years is generally dry. In fact, by this time of the year many of our hills and valleys have dried to a “California golden”color. So Scotland was quite a contrast for us! It rained at least a little on virtually every day we were there, and water — in rivers, streams, lochs, and the ocean — is everywhere…more: gdanmitchell.com/2026/07/31/a-

                    The descent down the mountain in last week's hike began with this picturesque trail down a ridge overlooking a valley (left pic). I could see for miles, viewing distant mountain ranges, making for a very pleasurable hike. A 3D rendering of the entire hike is shown on the right where the top of the ravine (1) and this descending trail (2) are indicated.

                    Photo of trail that follows a ridge down into the valley.  This section of trail is above the tree line allowing for unobstructed panoramic views of the valley and distant mountain ranges.  The trail is lined with rocks and cuts through a grassy meadow.  Blue sky overhead with some clouds.

This is Boott Spur Trail shortly after I left the summit of Boott Spur Mountain.  I am overlooking Pinkham Notch, with Wildcat Mountain on the far side of the notch.  This trail is in the Presidential Range of the White Mountains, NH.

                        Beneath a pale blue gray sky with a few long, hazy clouds we are standing on the shore of a lake covered with hundreds of green lily pads. The far shore is densely wooded, as are a small island in the middle of the lake and the tip of a peninsula not far off our shore. A small thicket of water grasses and leafy aquatic plants is just offshore at our feet. The recently set sun is painting the sky near and along the horizon vivid orange and casting a bright golden sunlight off the bottoms of many of the clouds.

                              3h very well invested livetime.

                              This image captures a serene and enchanting scene of a waterfall nestled in a lush, forested canyon. The waterfall cascades gracefully over moss-covered rocks, its clear water creating a sense of movement and tranquility. The falls are surrounded by rugged rock formations, some of which are covered in vibrant green moss and patches of grass, adding texture and color to the scene.
The water flows down in multiple streams, creating a dynamic and picturesque composition as it splashes into a shallow pool below. The pool is framed by large boulders and rocks, some of which are also covered in moss, blending seamlessly with the natural surroundings.
The background is dominated by tall, evergreen trees and dense foliage, their dark green leaves creating a natural canopy that filters the sunlight. The sunlight filters through the trees, casting dappled light and shadow on the rocks and the water, enhancing the sense of depth and tranquility.

                                          Upon arriving at the top of the headwall of the ravine in last week’s hike, I hiked along the ridge of the mountain range. This is a long, expansive ridge— 10+ miles (20km) long and very wide and rounded where I was. I hiked a relatively short distance to the next peak after which I began my descent. This section of ridge was mostly boulders marked by cairns. An easy section although very windy.

                                          Photo of pile of rocks (cairn) overlooking the ravine that I had just hiked up. The ravine is immediately behind the cairn. The surrounding walls of the ravine are seen on each side of cairn. Other mountains seen off in the distance. Dark clouds overhead.

This is a cairn at the top of Tuckerman Ravine on Lawn Cutoff Trail near the intersection with Tuckerman Ravine Trail. Presidential Range, White Mountains, NH.

A long series of cairns marking the trail is seen beyond the closest cairn. The cairns extend all the way to the next peak as indicated by the red arrow.

This is Lawn Cutoff Trail between the top of Tuckerman Ravine and Boott Spur Mountain.

                                                  The trail up the ravine that I hiked last week ends with a steep rock headwall-- 600 ft (180m) floor to rim. It is well known for spring skiing where skiers hike to the top and ski down steep runs. Here is a sequence of pics of the headwall as I hiked to the top, beginning with the first view 2.5 miles (4km) into hike (top left) and ending when I was near the top looking across the headwall (bottom right).

                                                  Photo of headwall when I first viewed it during hike.  The headwall is indicated by a red arrow.  The headwall is seen to be at the saddlepoint between two adjacent peaks.  A small pond is in the foreground.  Blue sky overhead with puffy white clouds.

This is the headwall at top of Tuckerman Ravine, Presidential Range, White Mountains, NH.  I took this pic on Tuckerman Ravine Trail, just uptrail of the Hermit Lake Shelters.  The pond shown is uptrail of Hermit Lake.   Mt. Washington summit (not shown) is to the right; summit of Boott Spur Mt. (not shown) is to the left.

                                                    I wish I could take credit for this (besides taking the picture), but it was a huge coincidence.

                                                    To see why, zoom in slightly left of center.

                                                    I raised the camera, and at the instant I was depressing the shutter, there was a commotion in the brush ahead.

The grass is green, the undergrowth minimal. There are mountains in the background beneath a hazy sky. What’s unusual is the doe running through the forest at the point where the trail disappears from view. She’s moving fast enough that she’s slightly blurred.

                                                                  Be everwell.

Dark grass gives way to bright green to dull green to a mix of green and gold to simply gold. At that point, the land rolls and there’s pine forest, a low, rocky mound in the background. Beyond the mound is a hazy valley and the hint of mountains. The sky is a pale blue and white.

I'm not sure it's as glamorous as online sites make it appear - but, it certainly is still beautiful.

Climbed up a steep ravine (upper left), then hiked along the ridge to a high point (jagged peaks in upper right) before looping back down. Winds (and freezing wind chill) were as advertised— clocked at average of 45 mph (72 km/h) at closest summit. Wore lots of layers and full wind suit and was just fine. More pics to come!
