8:21 AM: it was too icy on the cottonwood trail yesterday, so we walked up the stupa trail. shorter and less visually interesting, but no snow & ice. at the start of the trail, we saw the creek roaring with snowmelt, snow covered rocks…quite stunningly beautiful!

two night ago i photographed the moon rising over the sangres as the sun was setting. it only lasted for a few minutes, so i had to be quick, even though i was on my was down the stairs, food in hand. what did we do before i-phones?
