A Few of my Favorite Things

A menagerie of summertime play packed into a few short weeks means less time for silly pursuits like blogging. I'm completely okay with this situation.

In lieu of attempting the overwhelming task of blogging it all, here is a little photo-essay of the last few weeks. It's possible I'll get up a short report with a few details about Western States, but no promises.

My garden blooms!



Emerald Bay from the Rubicon Trail



Running the Rubicon



Running the Rubicon with Sarah!



Runner's barbecue, chez moi: Amber and me.



Pitch #2, Northwest Books, Lembert Dome, Tuolumne Meadows



Andrew on the sharp end.



Nevada Falls



The Panorama Trail



Yosemite Falls from the Four Mile Trail



Yosemite bike path fun




Andrew graduates from paramedic school. He worked hard for that diploma, and I am so proud!



Hangin' with Meghan at Michigan Bluff



With bad-ass runner Jamie heading into Foresthill


Jamie and I exit the rafts after crossing the river. Jamie looked great all day, and finished in 23:15!

  1. Wow! Love some of your favorite things. Likewise I've been falling behind on the blogging too because of summertime play.

  2. Lovely photos. What a great way to catch us up. Looks like you're having a great summer! Lisa and I were thinking about you and Jamie a lot on Saturday, hoping you were having fun. Sure looks like it from the pictures. (And thanks for flying the WRC colors. Didn't really expect that!) Unexpected bonus seeing you and Meghan.
