A quick hike up to the summit of the Mt Carillon. We started around 2AM in the morning and approached it via the chute right below the Lower Boy Scout Lake. Easy walk up considering a firm snow and good company.

Incredible traverse from Joe Devel to Pickering to Newcomb with gorgeous sunset over the lake 12129

 

This was yet another crazy-long weekend, my first time hiking of the Cottonwood pass trailhead. It all started as an idea to spend long weekend up in Sierra to escape the heatwave that was about to hit SoCal.

We’ve started very late in the night and our idea was to hike in as far as we could and so we did, our first stop was near the Chicken Spring Lake. it was sort of short, just enough to catch up with altitude after the long break at the sea level and early next morning we left to establish our camp near 36.493, -118.2703. We immediately left as it was a very long day ahead of us. Our first goal was Joe Devel and it was stupidly sandy/scree awfully annoying to get to that summit, but we did. The summit itself is ok, with some views on Lake Erin and The Major General towards north, but I wouldn’t call it picturesque. So we moved further as it was amazingly awesome ridge that we had to traverse before getting to our next goal – Mt.Pickering. Couple of sharp rocks but overall very enjoyable traverse, easy and fun. The Pickering itself has limited views towards north, but you can see much of the traverse towards Newcomb and Mt Chamberlain that is towards south of it. Excited about yet another stretch of rocky catwalk that connects Pickering and Newcomb we left the former and swiftly moving soon we arrived to the Newcomb. Personally I was way faster on the ridge but when the dealing with long and stupid gradual sandy incline the guys took off leaving me and the dust

Nevertheless the most beautiful part was ahead of us as the goal was to descent from the Newcomb towards the lakes below us but before we were delighted to see the beauty of the ridge connecting Newcomb and McAdie. I’ve promised myself that I will comeback there one day, so we shall see.

Descending down the time was upon us and we’ve hit the 12129 lake just before the sunset. We were very limi

A special moment interpreted

 

Cherry blossom here in San Francisco is far and few to be found, so when I do see them bloom I try my best to stop and

admire them. Lately a neighborhood tree bloomed heavily and fearing that the blossoms would be blown off by the recent winds, I packed my equipment to begin my studies. This is one study from the many that I took... I hope you will enjoy the moment as much as I enjoyed studying the Sakura!

 

On a side note, I was so absorbed in the moment photographing the cherry blossoms that I over extended my left shoulder and am now in need of recovering from the sprain!

Temizu és la cerimònica de purificació que fem en mans i boca a l'entrada de la majoria de santuaris i en alguns temples budistes per alliberar-nos de tota maldat i contaminació.

 

Els passos són: Agafem un cassó amb la mà dreta, l'omplim d'aigua i ens l'evoquem a la mà esquerra. Fem lo mateix però al revés. Tornem a omplir el cassó i ens emportem l'aigua a la boca. Per últim, omplint el cassó, el posem en forma vertical perquè caigui l'aigua pel mànec i el netegi i el tornem a deixar boca a baix.
