Trail Guy is retired so he hikes every week in Mineral King. I am not retired so I work. He photographs Mineral King so I post it on this blog.
Lucky Trail Guy.
Lucky You.
Lucky me, because I get to do what I love and (sometimes) even get paid for it.
If you let your cursor hover over each photo, it might give you the brief description.
After almost 29 years of marriage, we are starting to resemble one another (No, I am not growing a beard). He says all the time now, “Nice light!”
This is at the head of White Chief Canyon. Yep. We drink untreated water.
This is looking down on Franklin Lake from the trail up the Pass.
Did you know that Mt. Whitney is visible from Franklin Pass? I had forgotten. Now, I can’t remember if it shows in this photo or not.
These rock formations say “Franklin Pass” to me. Can you hear them talking? Must be the altitude. Actually I have not been on Franklin Pass since about 1983 or 1984. Too far for a day hike. Not for Trail Guy!
From left to right – a tarn (that is fancy mountain talk for pond), upper Franklin Lake, and the barest little edge of lower Franklin Lake. Lower is the one I did a mural of about 4 years ago. FOUR?? Must be having fun, because time is flying.
See? Trail Guy is getting all weird about shapes, light, texture, just like his artist wife.
