If you check my blog regularly, you might have been wondering if my computer croaked in last week’s heat wave. No, it is fine, and so am I (thanks for your concern)! I was gathering new inspiration in a place that has no electricity. Here are a few glimpses into that place for you:
This is a view of Timber Gap this morning. It was smoky out from all the California fires, and a thunderhead was already forming.

This is the view back toward Mineral King from Farewell Gap, a very long walk. It is always worth the effort, especially to see the Sky Pilot flowers, which only bloom above 10,000′.
This is Farewell Gap as it looked a few weeks ago. The lowest point between the two peaks is 10,589′, and that is where we were!

Oh, I so hope the California fires are out soon, and the air will be clear for my time at Mineral King the first two weeks of August!
Thanks for the great photos, Jana! Makes me remember many hours spent in the back country with my Dad, Ord Loverin. Love the Sky Pilots! Keep up the good work.
Thanks for sharing these beautfiul photos – I now long for a return visit to your neck of the woods!
Thank you, Don! I would be handicapped as an artist in any other century. And since we are made in the image of the Creator, we can’t help but mimic His work! Did anyone teach photography at Redwood when we were there? I have no memory of this – had no interest back then. Now there is a fantastic photography teacher at Golden West who actually takes some of his students backpacking. . . too bad GW wasn’t invented back in our era!
These are beautiful – you have a great eye. What an inspiration… and reminder of God at work! Thanks for sharing this.
