I want my posts to be encouraging, uplifting, enlightening, and a bit of an escape into the healing power of beauty, reminders that there are still plenty of good things to be enjoyed.
(This has nothing to do with anything, but did you notice all the E’s in that sentence?? Encourage. Enlighten. Escape. Enjoy.)
But, I hesitate to post about Mineral King, because it might be like showing off an expensive freezer full of fancy ice cream that you cannot have.
It is my intention for these photos to encourage you that there are good times ahead.
Everything is still brown and gray.
Plenty of water is flowing.
There is some green, but you must look closely to find it.
Are all slide shows supposed to end with a sunset? How about some alpenglow instead.
Take heart, friends. It makes life more pleasant than worrying about things over which we have no control.

Your pictures took us away, again today!! Such beauty! Thanks so much! Won’t it be fun when we can all go!
Looking forward to seeing everyone up there, Tom and Linda!
But we love Melvin (or Melvina), one of our most famous citizens, in spite of the havoc (s)he sometimes performs. Our community family members of every kind are what make Mineral King such a wondrous place. Nice, Jana!
Thank you, Louise! Melvin makes cute babies.
. . . until Melvin chews on your cabin siding and disables your car’s electrical system! I don’t wish them harm; just that they would stay in the back country away from us!
Sharon, I agree with you. They are a nuisance and ought to climb higher into the mountains and leave us be.
You are always right on!. Thank you for the photos and comments and all the sharing of good you constantly do.
Sorry, Melvin, but GO AWAY! GO! SHOOOO!!!!
Monarch Creek–is it flowing over the roadway at that curve right above Harry’s Bend? That’s a lot of water!
I’m glad to see so much snow still on Farewell Gap, but it will look absolutely stunning once the bushes bud out. Spring!!
