“Subalpine Meadow, Evening Light” — A ridge rises above a subalpine meadow and forest, Yosemite.

This is another “quiet” photograph — no brilliant colors, not really an iconic location. It simply captures, I hope, something of the feeling of being in the High Sierra as the day winds down, the light warms as sunset approaches, and begin to stretch across the landscape. It is a beautiful time of day — everything slows down, it gets quieter as people go to camp for dinner.

Some snaps from this week's "Arista del Campanitas" scramble.

Feeling inspired, I'm drafting a blog titled "Treading the Fine Line Between Scrambling and Rock Climbing" — exploring that gloriously confusing grey zone where our discipline labels overlap.

First image traces the approximate route; the rest capture the kind of scenery that makes you forget your legs are burning.

#scrambling #mountaineering #Spain #SierraNevada #Mountains

What a day yesterday. Lasting memories of that one for sure. Las Campanitas ridge to Veleta. A complex, dramatic route done without fuss or drama. Here's one with Linda at the summit of Salón 3325m with other members of our group scrambling up the right hand ridge

This is the bald eagle that lives out in Round Valley, and fishes most afternoons out behind the house, in Pleasant Valley reservoir. It was still several hundred yards above me, so it’s not a sharp photo, but the low afternoon sun did light it well. #owensvalley #sierranevada #california #bishopcalifornia #photography #baldeagle

This morning’s sunrise - another dramatic one. #owensvalley #sierranevada #california #bishopcalifornia #bishop #photography #landscapes #landscapes

Just a creek at the base of Wheeler crest, in Round Valley. #owensvalley #sierranevada #california #bishopcalifornia #bishop #photography #landscapes

Sunset over Mt. Tom. #owensvalley #sierranevada #california #bishopcalifornia #bishop #photography #landscapes #subset #sierrasunset

Just tonight’s sunset. That is all #owensvalley #sierranevada #california #bishopcalifornia #bishop #photography #landscapes #iphoneography #sunset

I just liked the way the sun was lighting Round Valley on my evening walk with Yoshi. #owensvalley #sierranevada #bishopcalifornia #bishop #california #photography #landscapes #iphoneography

First sip has a lot stronger of a flavor than the aroma indicated. There are loads of fruits that hit up front very quickly.

First snow of the season on Mt. Tom. #sierranevada #mttom #mustangmesa #owensvalley #bishop #bishopcalifornia

Spiderwebs at sunset. I snapped this on Wednesday while walking Yoshi out back. #owensvalley #sierranevada #california #bishopcalifornia #photography #landscapes #spiderwebs

Just another beautiful Spring day here in Bishop. Blue skies, snow capped peaks, lilacs blooming - I hope your day is as lovely, my fellow Mastodonians… #owensvalley #california #bishopcalifornia #sierranevada #bishop #landscapes #easternsierra

Our afternoon stroll out by the canal, while getting the tires rotated. Cows-n-calves. #owensvalley #sierranevada #california #bishopcalifornia #bishop #cows

Just out back walking the dog. I never tire of the view from the house. #owensvalley #bishopcalifornia #bishop #sierranevada #california

We also confirmed the observation made by the Wheelers back in the '60s that Manica parasitica is really "shaky". Maybe this is an "adaptive manipulation" by the parasite?

1/2 We (re)rediscovered Manica parasitica in the Sierra Nevada. Originally, this ant species was thought to be a free-loading parasite that uses the nests and brood care of its host Manica bradleyi for its own survival.

Instead, "Manica parasitica" is tapeworm-infested Manica bradleyi.

The #AlabamaHills are a magical place for #landscape photographers. There are fantastical rock formations that have a snow-capped #SierraNevada backdrop.
