In Vorfreude auf den bevorstehenden Winter und aufgrund der Tatsache, dass es aktuell ein paar Höhenmeter weiter oben schon wieder etwas weiß geworden ist, gibt es zum #MountainMonday ein #throwback Foto aus dem Dezember 2023.
Es entstand während der ersten Skitour der Saison am Schlittkuchen (2519m) oberhalb von #Engelberg.

Einer der schönsten Aussichtspunkte des Südschwarzwalds für einen beeindruckenden Alpenblick ist und bleibt der Belchen (1414m) - die zweitletzte, größere Erhebung Richtung Süden gesehen.
Auch wenn ich diesen Berg schon unzählige Male - sowohl mit Wanderschuhen als auch mit Touren-Ski, bestiegen habe, ist es immer wieder aufs Neue ein Erlebnis - das richtige Wetter vorausgesetzt.
Wenn man sich dann noch einen Tag herauspickt, an dem die Belchenbahn Revision hat, hält es sich mit dem Andrang auf dem Gipfel auch in Grenzen.
Das Foto entstand vor fast einem Jahr im Dezember, als noch kein Schnee lag und eine Inversionswetterlage Traumblicke in alle Richtungen gewährte.

Saying goodbye to comet A6 Lemmon. It's getting very low, and clouds are increasing in southern New Mexico.
It was a remarkable run of many clear nights.
This is a single exposure on a fixed tripod.
There's a blurred silhouette of a power line, and satellite trails in this image. They belong in the frame because this is the world we have created. It's getting increasingly difficult to escape to pristine nature.
Perhaps the phrase 'pristine nature' is now an oxymoron?
When is the first No Kings General Strike?
We all need to help with community building and boosting civic engagement. These activities have atrophied for decades, and it shows.

Do You Have a Beef with Me Buddy?
I captured a photo of a rather plump Northern Cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis) who appears to be staring me down with quiet intensity. The original image had quite a bit of noise, so some feather detail was lost in the cleanup—but even so, it’s a delight to behold.
Step into a world where even the smallest moments—like the glint in a bird's eye—tell their own story.

I hiked a large sand dune for the first time yesterday. What a unique experience! Quite a slog, hiking straight up the side to reach the ridge. A surprise with the challenge of walking the ridge— didn’t expect it to be so sharp. The drop-off on each side looked steeper/scarier than it actually was. A fun time! Bruneau Sand Dunes (Idaho)— 470 feet (143m) base-to-peak elevation change. #MountainMonday #hiking #nature

I’m spending a week visiting family here in the great state of Idaho. A long overdue visit— lots to catch up on! Several family members are avid hikers— spent part of today “urban hiking” with them on the Boise River Greenbelt. A very picturesque hike along the river which cuts through neighborhoods and the downtown area. A great way to see Boise! #hiking #nature #photography

Got Shrimp
Here’s a moment where a laughing gull (Leucophaeus atricilla) swooped down and plucked a shrimp straight from the surf—mid-flight, mid-feast, mid-ceremony. And of course, a sanderling (Calidris alba) wandered into the frame, photobombing with perfect timing and coastal dignity.
I captured this scene on the beach at Gulfport, Mississippi.

Good morning. ☕☕☕
4 November 2025
I can’t think of anything new to say this morning that I haven’t already covered. That’s usually how mornings go for me—so sometimes I just start typing, like I’m doing now, and hope something rises to the surface. Hmm... I wish verbal conversation worked the same way. Maybe that would be an advantage. In person, I don’t speak unless I have something worth saying. I’m certainly no chatterbox.
Still, not talking up a storm might be a mistake. It assumes other people know what I know, and that’s not always the case. Over the past decade, I’ve noticed that even the most basic concepts escape more people than I expected. Things like “the sun rises in the east and sets in the west”—you’d think that’s common knowledge. But not necessarily. It’s a little unsettling.
Once upon a time, I was far more open. In fact, I sometimes went overboard. It took someone else to point out that I didn’t need to explain every little detail. That’s when I started noticing people zoning out while I was trying to help them understand something. I thought I was being clear. I wonder what changed.
Did I shift from extrovert to introvert? Yes, I think that happened. That’s passive voice. Let me correct that: Yes, it happened.
If you can make sense of what I’m trying to say this morning, you’re ahead of me.
“Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.” — Aristotle
“Silence is only frightening to people who are compulsively verbalizing.” — William S. Burroughs
“The problem with introspection is that it has no end.” — Philip K. Dick
