It's better now.
Everything is better now.
You could make it even better still.
Just hold on.
It'll be a ride of a lifetime.
Interesting clouds form over the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, while thunderstorms hit the higher elevations to the east.
with a few sheep!
I thought I had labelled these...
The next deleted shot was over exposed, but showed the hollows well!
We went to the grocery store to get some things to bring to our family reunion picnic & we saw these beautiful clouds when we left the store.
This was taken from the parking lot at the historic Columbia Schoolhouse. I was with a group waiting for a tour of the adjacent graveyard by lamplight. Docents impersonating some of Columbia's past citizens stepped from behind gravestones and told their stories. During our walk, lightning played behind the distant hills from the clouds in the background.
As a recent volunteer, I wore a period costume for the first time and carried a lantern.

SOUTH COAST TRACK
Summon up a map of Tasmania and take a good look. You'll find Hobart in the southeast with plenty of roads leading north to Launceston and Devonport. Then take your eye down to the southwest of the island to see a large swath of green. Look closer. There are no roads, no towns and only one tiny port on the southwest tip of the island. You're marvelling at Southwest National Park and all of its wild glory. You'll find the South Coast Track along its southern edge.
Spanning 85 kilometres from Melaleuca to Cockle Creek, this walk takes 6 to 8 days to complete. It meanders through some of the wildest lands on planet Earth, and, because of this wildness, it is recommended that you gain experience on some of Tasmania's other difficult walks before challenging yourself on the South Coast Track. The Overland Track in Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park serves as a good warmup.
While there is a rugged road to Cockle Creek, there are no roads to Melaleuca. The small encampment on the southwest side of Southwest National Park has a small airstrip and Port Davey for the landing of boats. You can only fly, boat or walk your way out of Melaleuca. Boats and planes can be arranged in the west coast town of Strahan.
The South Coast Track by Season
It is advisable to take the track during the summer months. It is warmer between September and March but you are at risk of high winds, cold temperatures and a deluge of rain at any time of year. And while it is possible to complete the track alone or during winter, it is highly inadvisable to complete the track alone in winter. After all, you're a long ways from help if you need it. Always hike in groups of 6 or less.
Here is a wonderful quote from the back of David Attenborough's new (2020) book:
"A Life on Our Planet; my witness statement and a vision for the future":
"We share Earth with the living world - the most
remarkable life-support system imaginable,
constructed over billions of years. The planet's
stability has wavered just as its biodiversity has
declined - the two things are bound together.
To restore stability to our planet, therefore, we must restore its biodiversity, the very thing we have removed. It is the only way out of this crisis that we ourselves have created. We must rewild the world."
Seasonal tropical moisture from the southwest meets the high elevations along the "backbone" of Tuolumne County, California. This photo was taken at Sonora, which is at approximately 2,050' above Mean Sea Level. The crest of the Sierra in Tuolumne County includes the first and second highest road passes in California.
