Labor Day weekend was smoky, but conditions kept changing. We only did a few short walks, not wanting to develop emphysema, allergic pneumonitis, or black lung.
The first batch of photos were taken on Saturday.
The smoky green tunnel.
An unknown yellow flower flourishes in the diminishing creek bed at Crystal.
Sierra Gentian can still be found.
This is the Honeymoon Cabin, AKA Point Cabin from an angle that is rarely noticed.
These next photos were taking on Sunday, which was hot hot hot. Yes, I know, not compared to down the hill, but in the 80s and smoky in a place without electricity is not what we expect for Labor Day weekend. There has been snow on some Labor Day weekends in the past.
Sort of a hood ornament.
OF COURSE I stopped to put my feet in.
The last two photos are how things looked when we left around noon on Monday. Nope, not sepia photos, just the normal kind.
May God have mercy on us all.

Pray, Laurie, pray hard.
All familiar scenes, except for the sepia part. Bummer! Let’s all make an effort to do our best and most effective rain dance!
I think you meant to state at the beginning the photos were taken on Saturday? Pretty pics even with the smoke. I really like the different perspective of the honeymoon cabin.
Jess, you are right. I changed it to Saturday – thank you! And thank you for letting me know you like the different view of the Honeymoon Cabin – maybe I’ll paint it this way for next year’s inventory to sell in Silver City.
