Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. All comments and Faves are very much appreciated
At 8720 FT / 2657 M, Liberty Bell stands guard over Washington Pass, and all climbers driving over Highway 20 stop to drool. First is the East Face, with it's steep big wall climbs. Then comes the South and West faces with modest climbs in the 5.6 to 5.9 range, a peak baggers dream. Finally, is the mercifully short approach, especially for a Cascades climb. It is very popular with climbers during the summer months, and you might get stuck behind another group on the wall. The Liberty Crack is listed in the book "The 50 Classic Climbs of North America", which includes routes such as Denali's West Butress, the North Ridge of Mt. Stuart, and the Nose of El Capitan.

Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in...
- Leonard Cohen -
The ‘bells are calling……There are few sights guaranteed to make the heart sing more sweetly than a vibrant blanket of bluebells stretching across a woodland floor. It is a sure sign that spring has truly arrived..Regularly voted England’s favourite wild flower, bluebells thrive particularly well in woodlands, and the ancient areas of England Forest are no exception. Flowering in mid-April to late May (dependent on weather conditions), they make the most of the sunlight that reaches the woodland floor before the full forest canopy casts its shade. Millions of bulbs may grow closely together in one parcel of woodland, creating a stunning display
This shot from our birding this morning in Mesa, Az. It seems that Bell's Vireo, along with Lucy's Warbler are the most common of the migrants in Maricopa County right now. Unfortunately I did not observe whether this Bell's had a "tail wag" or a "tail bob", which I am told may determine the subspecies. Next time....
Sedona is an Arizona desert town near Flagstaff that’s surrounded by red-rock buttes, steep canyon walls and pine forests. It’s noted for its mild climate and vibrant arts community.. On the town’s outskirts, numerous trailheads access Red Rock State Park, which offers bird-watching, hiking and memorable red rock formations. Bell Rock was readily viewed from our B & B. It is scenic but this shot is mostly about the clouds.
The Christmas Bells are out! Seems like a good year for them too, with plenty on show around the local tracks. Seeing them always adds a little extra smile to the walk.

Bell tower of a no longer used early 1900’s school house in Gilson Illinois. This large bell was sufficient to be heard throughout the town.
and here you thought they were only on churches and other imposing edifices ~grin~
ODC "many pieces"

Maroon Bells near Aspen is very cool at the moment Alpin light hits, but a short time later the scene turns much brighter and the greens help define the distinct V shape of the reflections.
Bell towers have played a significant role in early Christian architecture. They were originally erected as part of the church building and served both functional and symbolic purposes.
What does the bell tower symbolize in early Christian churches? One main function was to house bells that would be rung to call worshipers to prayer, mark important moments in the liturgy, and announce funerals or other events such as celebrations or warning signals. The sound of the bells was seen as a way to connect with God, reminding Christians of their faith while also serving as a reminder to pray for those who had passed away.
In addition to their practical use, bell towers were often seen as symbols of spiritual aspiration. Their height represented the exalted place of God above humanity, urging people upwards towards heaven. This encouraged visitors to look upwards where they could contemplate divine mysteries rather than on earth-bound distractions. The bell in this tower is long gone. Thankfully, the tower and church remain!

"A good bell is heard from far, a bad one still further."
-Finnish Proverbs
The smallest cowbell of a series. We once (long ago) bought them in a music store in Innsbruck while on vacation. The sound of this cowbell gives a high C.

El bell riu
i la vella Llosa
que s'encaixen
dins la profunda
i llarga vall.
Paraula de pedra
i besllum del matí.

Lo polit riu
e l'anciana Llosa
que s'adapta
dins lo prigond
e longa val.
Mot de pèira
e la lutz del matin.

I will end my Colorado adventure at one of my favorite spots in the world. The Maroon Bells are two peaks in the Elk Mountains southwest of Aspen, Colorado comprising a series of distinctively bell shaped wine-colored peaks towering 14,000 feet above the pristine glacial Maroon Creek Valley.
Five Bells - local pub in Burwell, Cambs - something of a grab shot, a few moments later the road was filled with parked cars!
