Thanks for your faves and comments!

When you can't fly, and you keep falling out of trees, climbing skills are in order.

6ºC.

A personal achievement.

A great high altitude acclimatization workout.

First time I climb the summit alone, even though I have people on the same trail, there was no closer contact. Each in its own time.

There was drizzle and a light rain.

Cloudy weather is part of mountaineering.

It's cool to see the blue sky, but getting there is much better.

Adrenaline is the maximum and free.

Climb the mountain and get their good tiding, nature peace will flow into you as sunrise flows into trees, the wind will blow their own freshness and storm their energy while cares will drop away from you like the leaves of spring

Small springtime white flowers in the warm sunshine, with an even tinier insect making the most of this early food source.

Hill climb.

Another shot from yesterday.

The climb up the Niagara escarpment begins for both of these trains. CP 247-31 ascends the 2% percent grade up the Hamilton sub as CN A43531-31 starts to climb the grade to Copetown. Sometimes the stars align and things work out. Not a bad way to end 2020. Cheers to health, happiness, and prosperity in 2021!

C17 974 works up the grade from the Mary River on the return to Gympie

The next five day's I will be over to the other side of the country for my real life job.

So no second life, no taking pictures.and not posting.

This will be the case for four weeks on weekday's.

With a Second Life inventory exploding with stuff to show I have to let real life get my full priority.

In the meantime have fun while you shop until you drop.

In the pursuit of life.

In the rose garden at the Ringling Museum. It was not the best day to photograph the roses because they had just been cut back and fertilized for the growing season, but I managed to find a few to capture.
