I seem to have a bunch of these...ooooooo....ahhhhhhhhh...
Ok, all joking aside, here's a panoramic of an inversion. This was taken in SNP, and is the view West where the 2 peaks sticking up out of the fog way in the distance are near Manassas, VA.

I might not respond to each post, but I am saving every single picture that is posted here! I appreciate it so much - especially since I just purchased 2 Samsung curved monitors. I have dual displays and I can view my favorite pictures all the time. Please keep them coming.. Makes me want to get back on the trail.
I've learned....
That a smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks.
One of my favorite campsites from a 2016 hike on the Collegiate Peaks Loop Trail.
Here's my version of the same from Nov 2016. I think it was the Monday after Thanksgiving. It's a really cool sight when the sun it hitting it just right. Apparently it has something to do with the Ilvermorny School for Witchcraft and Wizardry.

I'm not lost. I'm exploring.
My favorite pics are about backpackers and backpacking and creek crossings and winter backpacking and backpacking tents.
Creek crossings are high on my list of great outdoor fotogs. This is Little Mitten crossing the South Fork Citico back in 2002---using the old cable at the Brush Mt trail jct.
I like this one because the colors are bright against the snow. It's my backpacking buddy Johnny B following Little Mitten on the BMT up to Bob Mt, 2003.
This one has it all---the trailhead, the gear, the vehicle, the friend (Johnny B), the homemade hiking stick, the orange thermarest---etc. This is along Upper Creek in Pisgah NF in 2004. See next pic.
This shows what it's like to backpack in the heat of the summer on a nutbusting trail in Pisgah NF---and a favorite pic on Trail 268A on Upper Creek.
This is another pic in Pisgah NF on Upper Creek but several months later when I get Blade on left to come out and use my old Kelty Ultra Tioga pack. The best pics to me show "Backpackers in Action."
Well... it was taken from within the Ansel Adams Wilderness (Thousand Island Lake with Mt. Ritter in the back ground).
Here's a picture I think I've posted before... it's a part of Ruby Lake (nestled between Thousand Island Lake and Granet Lake along JMT).

Sunset over Lake Michigan from the Nordhouse Dunes Wilderness. No color enhancement here. It was really this color!

Wildflowers in a meadow near Paradise, Mt Rainier NP. I thought this looked like a setting from a Dr. Seuss book.

Possibly the most famous viewpoint in America. It was a rare wet summer with plenty of water in the falls, even into early August.

You can't take a bad picture at Yosemite.
How do some of you get them to show bigger. I clicked on the "insert image" button and they are just thumbnails.
The larger ones look so good comparatively.
Don't let your fears stand in the way of your dreams
Sharing a couple of my favorites:
First is a horizontal sliver of space between a cloud blanket and higher clouds above, with sunlight illuminating the edges. Taken at Mt Lafayette in the Whites.
Second is a community of tiny plants above treeline on a rock in the Whites. Don't remember which President it was.
By the way, when I uploaded each photo, they came in as thumbnails. But if you double-click on them, it brings up a screen where you can change from the default thumbnail to "full size."
The only problem with this system is when Flickr or whatever web hosting business goes out of business all these posted linked pics will disappear with the words "NO PHOTO AVAILABLE" on a gray background.
I wish Whiteblaze would allow full sized pics from our own computer files.
