It has been said that Potato Hill, aka "The Spud", was named after the nickname of a well-known camp cook—"Potato" John Raymond—who was a member of many early geological surveys in the San Juan Mountains. The early morning light on it yesterday was gorgeous.

Segla, a iconic mountain peak on the island of Senja in Northern Norway.The western side of the peak plunges nearly vertically into the sea with a dramatic 600-meter drop, while the surrounding landscape features fjords, jagged mountain ridges, and sub-arctic tundra vegetation. #norway #geography #mountains #travel #nature #tundra #fjord #photography

July 5, 1983: The next mountain after Lewis was Bearfence. The Appalachian Trail skirted its rough, rocky crest, but a loop trail ran over it. The craggy summit was becoming overgrown with small, gnarled trees, but several projecting rock outcrops nearby looked southward along the Blue Ridge and westward over a broad chunk of the Shenandoah Valley.

Thin Layer Of Life (2026)
(I love scenes like this, exposing just how thin and fragile this carpet of life is in the high mountains, considering the ages/centuries, the obstacles it took to overcome and the relationships needing to form for this varied life to get and retain its temporary foothold here... It's inspiring and very symbolic to me)

H/T @Ellen Wohl | @Colorado State University
“Perceptions of river health are strongly influenced by expectations regarding a natural river. Many observers expect clear water, a slightly sinuous river with pools and riffles, and some riparian trees. River health, however, is much more complicated and multifaceted. The physical appearance of a river, for example, depends strongly on geomorphic context and river history. [The H/T] use mountainous headwater rivers in Colorado to examine the influence of physical complexity on river health. Complexity can be described with respect to the stream bed, banks, cross-sectional form, and planform of the river and floodplain. The configuration of each of these components of a riverine system has implications for habitat abundance and diversity, sensitivity and resilience of the river to natural and human-induced disturbances, retention of water, sediment and nutrients, and connectivity within the riverine system and between the river and adjacent uplands. Many types of resource use simplify rivers to the point that the river undergoes a metamorphosis, or a thorough, sustained change in channel form and function. Loss of beaver dams and channel-spanning logjams in mountainous headwater rivers in Colorado, for example, has resulted in metamorphosis of physically complex, anastomosing channels that were highly connected to adjacent floodplains. These rivers have assumed an alternate stable state as single-thread channels with limited retention and resilience. Effective, sustainable river restoration involves (i) characterizing the magnitude of different forms of physical complexity naturally present in a particular river segment, (ii) understanding the effects of physical complexity on river ecosystem function, and (iii) assessing the degree to which this level of physical complexity can be restored or mimicked. An important part of this process may be educating stakeholders regarding the importance of physical complexity – messiness – in healthy rivers…”

Tag 4 im #Montafon war sehr aktiv und wir haben gleich 2 Gipfel bestiegen um dann noch gemütlich bei der Wormser Hütte einzukehren. Fotografisch war das aber eher ein ruhiger Tag. Das Wetter war zu gut 😂
Dafür gab es Murmeltiere ganz nah!
This was a fun day back in the fall of 2019. I kayaked across Jenny Lake, named for the Native wife of an old trapper, and then hiked up Cascade Canyon. I think another fall trip to the NW corner of Wyoming is in order for next year.

June 7, 1983: The trail gradually descended along the ridge into the green valley where Damascus lay nestled among the mountains. The late morning sun had finally burned through the clouds as I followed the Appalachian Trail along the main street of this small southwestern Virginia town.

Good morning. ☕☕☕
14 October 2026
This morning’s image is another one my daughter sent me. She’s been visiting Colorado Springs and spent some time at a place called the Garden of the Gods — a stretch of towering red sandstone formations rising out of the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. I’d never heard of it before, so of course I had to look it up.
Meanwhile, I’ve been spending a couple of hours each day trying to reclaim our indoor patio — or maybe it counts as a sunroom. At some point it quietly transformed into an easy-access storage zone where we stashed anything that needed to be “out of the way.” I’m also dealing with the aftermath of the Great Love Bug Swarming of 2026. They breached the outer defenses and died in globs between the screens and the windows, so I had to clean all that out. Plenty of them made it into the inner sanctum too, so I vacuumed those up.
I’m tackling the room in sections, which means moving patio furniture, clearing out spider webs and spider eggs, and of course finding even more love bugs. That side of the house faces north, and I still don’t understand why the little pests seemed to prefer it. Over the last couple of months I’ve used the leaf blower several times to sweep up piles of them from in front of the sunroom — tens of thousands, easily. Many of them liked to congregate on the back storm door during the heat of the day. Ugh. You can probably hear my dislike for those insects in my voice.
But the swarming is finally over, and for now at least, they’re mostly gone. Only the cleanup remains.

One of my favorite projects ever. (Now, a thread.)
A mountain lion sighting is what drew my eye to this little arroyo I didn't know existed before. You might say I became a bit obsessed. You would be making an understatement. I've been in here nearly every day since. In exploring it, I discovered a lot of things including remnants of trail and animal paths buried under overgrowth which I stitched together to create a short flowy trail on. The idea evolved to follow the channel closely so you could see the mini seasonal superbloom there. In particular, it was the biggest stand of Seep Monkeyflowers I've seen on the plateau and there was a small Hedgenettle meadowy area. It was full of pollinators. I've been posting some of these things for about a year now. First on pixelfed, now on Vernissage.

It's really hard to see here but water flowed a bit in the rain past few days, moving some of the plant debris, and started to clump around rocks I had moved out of the trail. It's an idea to slow flash flooding, create little damming and terracing effects in the arroyo channel and it's working! It's very sensitive habitat but I hope to facilitate the wildflowers in here to spread out even further. It was previously very hard-packed dirt, smooth, and water would not linger so much. The wildflowers that will pop up here are adapted to thrive from the underground springs and water just below the soil in these arroyos I hadn't realized existed. A lot of layers to this make it too complex to sum up here. Anyhow, you can see some of the material collecting around the rocks.
Petey for scale.

W-fork Canyon survey today from trailhead 2400m. Very deep and shaded, narrow at times w 3600-3824m terrain S-wall. Could only make it in 8K to 2600m, too cold. Dressed for the sunny areas 0-1C, not -6C. Thin gloves too. Not too much ❄️ on the trail but very icy. Only slipped once 👍🏽. Probably had got to near -10C overnite there in shaded part. 10cm snow-depth where we turned back, 5cm at start. One of our Ursine friends saw us, but didn't say hello. #climate #hiking #dogs #montana #mountains
