While the east side of the country is getting hammered, the west side is having beautiful springlike weather. Let’s look at another walk, which probably could be classified as a hike if I had had the foresight to bring lunch. I did bring water and my walking stick, which was a good decision.
Poppies in January!
Not much water in that waterfall*.
Or this one. (It is a tiny light line in the shade.)
How in the world was this picnic table transported to this spot with no road??
Pippin was waiting for me to get home. Little sunshine kitty. Well, not actually little.
Jackson was also waiting, but he doesn’t want to look eager and make me think that he actually likes me.
Maybe I’ll get some work done tomorrow. Maybe I’ve done work already this week but haven’t shown you yet. Maybe I will work on the mural on Friday.
More will be revealed in the fullness of time.
*The waterfalls had good water when I photographed them in Spring 2023 for this painting (It shows as $700 on the website because the website is supposed to add sales tax, which I estimated to be $50.)

Picnic table probably backpacked up in pieces, then assembled on the spot. But why that spot? Does it get a lot of (walking) traffic there? Water nearby? Besides the view, what’s the attraction? More will be revealed in the fullness of time!
Sharon, there are many mysteries involved in the administration of the BLM area above our house. The trail showed as if it was a solidly marked, easily followed trail on the map. In reality, there were some very sketchy spots where the trail was hard to find or follow. In high water, several parts would have been quite treacherous. Much was severely eroded. When we first lived here, there was no trail, just a route that was probably where the cattle traveled the property, and there were certainly no maps, either posted or printed.
