This is the view north from camp on our first night in the Mt. Baker Wilderness. Over the valley Tomyhoi Peak, Mt. Larrabee, and Pleiades East Peak can be seen skirting the Canadian border.
We sat and had lunch, enjoyed the view and made a few photos. For this shot, I scrambled up a precarious slope (which I slide down more than once) to get above Sarah and provide a wider view of the valley.

Welcome to the US at the US-Mexico border in Loredo, Texas. The first thing you're reminded of when you get in the U.S. is that you want to get somewhere else. Pan-American Trek using Google Street View.
I went into Glasgow on Saturday to go to shop and draw at the Glasgow Craft Mafia at the Lighthouse. Strangely I felt too self conscious to draw, so headed of to Borders for tea and drawing.
The top arrangement is the one I had planed for my picture and would only require 24 slices of cane. However, the arrangement below is more appealing but will require 40 slices. I can just about make it.
Texas winter wildlife # 16
Bordered Patch (Chlosyne lacinia) was a new butterfly for me. I managed a single photo in the garden of our temporary TX hill country home-from-home. Apparently it manages to survive through the year further south towards the Mexican border and actually can be found through Central America down as far as Argentina.
There has been much discussion about the construction of a wall between the United States and Mexico. However, this discussion largely ignores the fact that a wall -- or fence -- already exists in many places along the border in the more populated areas. This image captures the layers of fencing used to divide the US city of El Paso, Texas, and the Mexican city of Juarez, Chihuahua. This fence runs along a portion of the concreted Rio Grande River and what is known as the border highway in El Paso.
Back in the day, tourists could take a boat from Waterton Park in Canada's Alberta province south along Upper Waterton Lake across the international border to Goat Haunt in Montana, USA, and then hike back to Waterton.
I took the above shot at the international boundary during my hike back to get my car in order to drive back into the US via a border checkpoint (unmanned on my way north early that morning, but manned on my way back in late afternoon) to my hotel in West Glacier; there were no Canadian border posts/inspections.
It is interesting to see that only minute changes were made from the 1818 marker to the 1925 marker; the firebreak on the far shore of the lake is a continuing indication of the border. Alberta, Canada is to the left; I was just inside Montana, USA.
Of course, this was pre-9/11! I believe that Canadians and Americans could still do this sort of trip after 9/11 but not those like me from further abroad. With the orange-faced man-baby back in Washington, I suppose there's a possibility that a wall might blight this view at some point in the future...
And yes, sorry, that's my rucksack getting into the picture by mistake...

I like how my 85mm lens captured this dog at a crosswalk just before crossing. I only wish the owners would not use a choke chain collar…:-(
