Best of today’s climb – Wildflowers

Fabulous day, clear sky, mild temps, hiking without having to carry tons of extra clothes, just in case…

And the pink from two weeks ago, today has turned white.

While along the deep forested trail sunlight singles out the wildflowers against the dark backdrop of the woods.

I was hiking with the guy who I ran into on the trail a couple of weeks ago and I didn’t feel quite the need to beg his indulgence as his son was along shooting an occasional photo as well.

As usual however, you can find me at the end of the line, trying to compose one last shot.

We made it to the summit in about 5 and a half hours, and as we clinked our glasses at the bar we kept to the slogan we adopted on our first climb together 2 weeks ago, “you are not finished till you see the foam.”
