It’s fun to just point the camera out the window while moving down the highway and just see what happens. During our trip to Owens Valley this summer, two families piled into the mini-van, and Bill drove the entire time. I had quite a bit of time sitting shotgun, and although I didn’t take advantage of it as much as I should have, I did start shooting from the shotgun position during a brief rainstorm.
Some grasses at Mack Lake in the Little Lakes Valley in Eastern Sierra. And some clouds, too. And rock, of course. Lots of rock. And trees.
Another one of the photos accidentally taken with low-res settings on the camera. Sad but true.
Dark beautiful cliffs, fantastic clouds, and occasional rain showers were our constant companions.

The spray, an undulating mix of hot and cold mineral water, is pleasantly disorienting to be in. Or perhaps that was a partial effect of the day hike around Lake Sabrina at over 9000 feet. In any case, the mineral pool was a fantastic finish to the day. And the vintage character of the place, while slowly decaying, was very cool. I hope any sprucing up that might happen doesn’t go too far.
I almost forgot about the old bicycle.
Walking around the back side of Fitch Mountain in Healdsburg, I saw an old rusted bicycle and this flower.
