A snow guy w/out snow

Tharhawk

:dunno So, I'm more of a snow guy? Snow's melted. What's a guy to do?





















No matter what, though, I'm keeping my EYE out for snow. This guy's helping me.

Beautiful photos

Where did you take these?

Great shots! The shot of the kids with the antlers was particularly engaging. Glacier NP?

Thanks, these were in Banff and Jasper (many...specifically Jonas Shoulder). For such a beautiful place, I wanted more, but it was hard with my brothers family and my littlest brother along. Fending for 3 kids, two women takes it out of you on top of full days hiking, especially when I had to go back and get my moms pack (i.e. lets hike this pass twice)!

There are a couple photos from a short hike I did to Mount Rainier yesterday...mixed in...also.

Thanks for letting me know where this is at

You were so nice to hike the trail twice for your Mom Mom's appreciate that.

Excellent series I particularly like the first one.

No problem. She definitely appreciated it, especially after 6 days on the move.

Incredible series. I loved each one of them. Kudos for making such great captures while on the trail. And for carrying mom's pack.

The last photo is interesting as it is mind-boggling to me that you are negotiating this stream by using it as a trail -- and it is a great photo as well! How far did your group hike?

It was just 50 or 60 miles, something the niece and nephew could do at 7 and 11 (and brother age 11). As for the stream, although I have hiked ones before, this was just a long crossing. There were a dozen or more along the way.

Really lovely series. Beautiful job.

Welcome to the other 6 months of the year!

Wonderful wide open spaces and scenery. Makes me want to go out hiking. But then I look outside and there's clouds everywhere. Damn it.

Anyway, great set! Your snow shots are awesome so it's good to see you branching out

Great series. #3 is my favorite. I can't believe that those little kids went on such a long hike. How did they hold up?

Great images! Thank you for sharing!

I love the vintage kid photos!! :ivar

You were certainly born to be up on top of a mountain. I'm surprised you don't just set up a second residence somewhere
