The Forggensee, also called the Roßhaupten Reservoir, is a reservoir located north of Füssen in the county of Ostallgäu in Bavaria, Germany and one of many lakes in the region around Hohenschwangau and Neuschwanstein castles. Even though the Forggensee is not a natural lake today, it is located in a basin that was filled by a much larger lake after the last ice age.
Took a side trip south to northern California to hike Mount Eddy, a very pleasant hike up through the Deadfall basin with its many lakes and wildflowers.
This shot is from the ridge line extending east from Eddy. That is Mount Shasta with Black Butte in front. Lake Siskiyou is to the right.
An odd fact is that Mount Eddy is the highest point west of I5. Not saying all that much given that Shasta is just on the other side of the interstate! It's also named after the first woman to climb Shasta.

Many fungus growing cover the whole dead tree log in the woods - Go for a walk in the woods and you’ll see plenty of fungi growing on trees. Any old stump or deadfall is a potential home for a crop of them, whether it’s mushrooms or plate-like bracket fungus. The many fungi that appear on dead wood are an essential part of nature, helping to process old trees back into the food chain.
At an elevation of well over one mile high, this this is my rock-crawling, stream fording Toyota Tacoma truck on a mountaintop overlooking Utah Lake and the mountain ranges beyond. It was a challenging climb to this location and a couple of people who were driing quads and side-by-sides expressed surprise that the truck had been able to made it there.
The truck has been featured in a newspaper in southern Florida. If there is a day that goes by when someone doesn't ask about the truck, I consider it an unusual day.

Saturday I cycled 33km up into the highlands of Thetis Lake Park.
The plan was to cycle the Highland Road Trail up to Munn Rd. and snoop around under the powerlines
It didn't happen. After checking my GPS track back home I took the wrong trail.
The Panhandle Trailhead is on the right and Highland Trailhead is to the left. Daah.
The good news is I get to do it all over again.
A Great day for biking. I left at 6:30am and got back home at 8:50am.
Addendum
There's a hill one kilometre in from the road that is too steep for me to get up on my electric-assist bike.
I took a pretty bad fall from my bike trying to climb the hill but nothing seems to have been broken.
One of these days I'm not going to be so lucky.
Kiki promised to help scoop up deadfall apples, but did she? Nope - I turned my back and she was off climbing a tree. :D

Detour
A fresh deadfall blocked the path; the detour, however, was clearly marked.
No snow for us today, so here is one from a couple weeks ago when I walked down to Durand Eastman Park on a lovely day with soft snow falling all around.

Mom only had one cub, or at least she only had this one with her. As active as it was, I can’t imagine how exhausting looking after two or three might be. Way up in a tree, down running along the ground, rooting around deadfalls, chasing imaginary foes, this little one was everywhere. Here, it took a brief respite, giving me a coy look before bounding off on yet another adventure.

Chippewa Falls, are about 40 km north of Sault Ste. Marie. The falls, on Highway 17, mark the half way point of the Trans-Canada Highway.
The falls, on the Chippewa River, consist of an upper (7 metre height) and lower cascade (6 metre height)- -about 50 meters apart. The lower falls consist of 2.7 billion-year-old pink granite bedrock, partially covered by a 1.1 billion-year-old grey Keweenawan basalt lava flow from the Grenville orogeny (mountain building epoch). The upper falls were created by a vertical diabase dike cutting through the granite--then, a lateral fault cut the granite and basalt layers, lifted the dike 10 meters, creating the upper falls.

Sunday morning I hiked 4km roundtrip along a Thetis Lake Park Trail.
Yesterday I rode my ebike here but took the wrong trail
Today I got it right and hiked the Highland Road Trail 2km through to Munn Rd near Rolla Pl.
This is the northern-most Thetis Lake Munn Rd connector — of which there are a few.
I don't know if I can cycle it due to all the steep hills but I'm willing to find out.
Maybe I can break some bones next time.
It was a long brutal "hike" up 800m vertical through deadfall to gain the ridge where we could get a clear view of the amazing Whitetail Peaks in Kootenay NP. I can't imagine many people if any have bothered to ascend the ridge we did...
How lucky was I?
On my first day trying out my new Canon RF 200-800 lens, the first subject I come across is this lovely mink. He was foraging around a bunch of deadfall along the edge of a local river, giving me the opportunity to test out the new lens... so far so good.
All comments are appreciated. TIA.

..amidst paradings of infernal laughter. At the Resurrection the Elephant got himself together with correction, deadfall feet and toothproof body and bulldozing bones and completely altered brains behind aged eyes, that were wicked and wise. So through the orange blaze and blue shadow of the afterlife, effortless and immense, the Elephant goes his own way, a walking sixth sense….

This little guy was spotted on some deadfall along a gravel road in RMNP.

Wandering around on Mt Seymour this morning. Shot this small falls on Perimeter Trail, which has gained a lot more deadfall since the last time I was here.
About 4.8km in from the Square Rock carpark there's a junction with a track heading off to the South. I don't remember it climbing quite so much. In fact, I recall it was flat. But I don't think I've been on it for maybe 25 years and a lot can happen in that time — like the two out of control bushfires that have ripped through here. The track might be steeper now but the destination is the same — a ridge overlooking Ororral Valley.
The 2003 and 2020 fires killed a lot of even the largest trees up here. It was easier to get out onto the boulders perched on the edge for a view down into the Orroral Valley; another of that collection of SE-NW trending valleys that dominate the central part of Namadgi National Park. Now there's a mess of ankle-snapping tree fall and larger trunks to scramble over. Those still covered with a glaze of frost warned to take care! Once negotiated, this ridge will be the highest point on this walk.
Though the deadfall has compromised the amenity and safety of this little deviation it has also created little protected nooks. This one has been taken up by a fern which has, resiliently and in spite of the fire and the cold set itself up in a protected and, at least in this moment, more sunny spot.
The north temperate rain forests of the north Pacific coast are lush, dark and very biodiverse. They are pretty much inaccessible due to the dense growth, but in the Pacific Rim National Park boardwalks have been built to provide access to this unique ecosystem. This imaged was taken on Rainforest Trail B, south of Tofino, British Columbia. This ecosystem is used in the movie industry for movies involving man versus the untamed wilderness, and it would certainly be scary to be lost in these large pathless tracts of forest that are home to bears, wolves and wildcats.
