Blue mountains, breezy sky

Blue mountains, breezy sky, originally uploaded by Bitterroot.
This was taken in the upper Blackfoot Valley in May; this scene is now weathering the parched aridity of a prolonged drought. Behind these mountains burn two large wildfires in the Bob Marshall Wilderness Area. These have grown rapidly, 14,900 and 6200 acres respectively as of today. Pray for rain...

Pastel presence in the forest
We found this pastel presence in a tropical forest on Guana Cay in the Abacos Islands. Quite a lively surprise to find on the pathway of a pristine island!

Mysterious door in a rock cave
I found this while exploring the ground of an old estate in Rochester, Minnesota. Who knows what this space was used for? Root cellar? Ice storage? Whiskey during the Prohibition years? Or maybe it's a secret home for trolls.
