I'd forgotten that this was on my little
Pano. This was the view from just up the road as I gave the dogs an evening stroll.

This pack trip, now almost a decade behind me, was a different sort of trip in several ways. We began on the east side of the range in a high valley south of Mount Whitney. This was in an area that we had visited in the past, and on one occasions I spent several days going up and down an unmaintained pass until we finally all got together and climbed a nearby 14,000' peak. On the trip where I made the photograph we started out at the same trailhead but then skirted a bit south to cross the crest on a more popular trail. A bit further along to the west we left the main trail to visit a nearby lake, found a cross-country route out of its cirque, walked up a long valley to another lake, and camped there. I made the photograph on the evening of our arrival, looking back at tall ridges lining the valley we had ascended to get here.
There rest of the trip was unusual and special, too. On the next morning we skirted the lake and then headed up to find an unmarked route over a steep pass, dropping down abruptly from its summit into a long granite valley with several lakes. A day later we arrived at the usual west side route towards Mount Whitney. We stopped for lunch and moved on, heading north on the John Muir Trail. Eventually we crossed one of my favorite high spots along this trail and then descended to the junction with the trail over Shepherds Pass. We hung out in this area for a few days, investigating some more remote areas of the Upper Kern drainage before returning to this spot and then heading out over Shepherd Pass.

This past spring when I went up to open our cabin for the summer, I decided to take a bird feeder with me to see what species of birds would come in to feed. I knew I had to bring the feeder in at night as the last time I left one out a few years back a black bear peeled it like a banana! It was raining so I set my camera up on my tripod inside the kitchen and glanced outside every so often so see if anything had come in. Sure enough a "gross" of grosbeaks came in and were enjoying the easy meal. We have Black-headed grosbeaks at home but I had never seen these particular birds before. iBird Pro is such a valuable tool for me! I was able to catch this male on the deck rail (I wish it were a more natural perch, but it is what it is). They came by on two different evenings and I did not see them again all summer.
Main towers of Torres del Paine captured in the early evening light coming from almost clear dark blue sky. The reflection of sun in left side of image was so intensive that I regret the forgetfulness of sunglasses. But three different exposures were sufficient to catch all tones and colors in that evening.
