Good day!
This is supposed to be our 2nd driest months of the year.
Instead, weve gotten rain every other day for the last week.
Dont get me wrong, we desperately need the moisture, & our temps are exquisitely cool.
Our normal weather patterns have disappeared.
Be everwell.

Good day!
Another Monday, another walk, another day editing & then
You get the idea.
Another day.
So, heres a real image of spring encountering autumn, the wildflowers late in surviving, the red behind a preview of whats to come.
Contradictions. Like me.

Create your own Art Trail "Please keep your hands and feet inside at all times during this ride."03
Good day!
There are the places I go to experience awe and wonder.
There are the places I go to be by myself, because there, loneliness is merely time alone to think.
There are the places I go just simply to breathe.
I am so thankful for those places.
Be everwell.

Good day!
I hiked yesterday.
I learned that autumn is whispering, but its silent in town, you have to venture into the mountains.
I also learned, yet again, not to trust the weather forecast. Cloudy with drizzle More like unrelenting sun.
Once home, it rained.

9 Places to Get Outside in Los Angeles via Atlas Obscura Lists Shared
With its beautiful terrain, perpetual sunshine, and temperate climate, Los Angeles is the perfect place to picnic, hike, garden, and meditate all year round.
You can explore the ruins of the old Los Angeles Zoo, nestled in among the hills of the famed Griffith Park, or take a trip to the location that served as Batmans secret hideout in the 1960s television series. You could take a more spiritual path by walking the labyrinth in the midst of a lush estate nestled in the heart of Los Angeles. And dont miss the secluded private garden in Beachwood Canyon, created by one woman and inspired by the Wizard of Oz, glittering with mosaics. So, bring your sunscreen, hiking boots, and your canteen of water, and check out the wonders of L.A.s great outdoors.

Good day!
Our weather change came late yesterday with fanfare in the form of thunderstorms & heavy rain (for here).
It also brought cooler temperatures. The air coming through the windows is chilly.
Im weighing my desire to hike against the unstable weather.

Good day!
This is our last day of relatively hot weather for at a short time. Our chance of rain increasing from zero to slight.
Good weather for hiking, for escaping to anywhere that isnt here, a place that will set aside troubles.
For a little while, anyway.
Be everwell.

*For your Wednesdaysit back, breathe deep, & take in the view. If you have your sound on, yes, thats the wind (& birds). It was cooling.
Kinda sorta hot today (87F, 30.5C), but much cooler air is due to arrive on the 1st.
Meanwhile, I walk & edit.

Good day!
Visualization. I love watching my targeted editing chart fill in, seeing my progress.
Like hiking to a high place, theres seeing when its all downhill.
Im a visual person. Charts, graphs, images, maps, & even a beautiful font, I love them all.
Be everwell.

Good day!
Ive decided to patent our weather this year & sell it. I cant remember when we were last spared a heat dome.
Its as if, after an unusually warm winter & spring, a switch flipped & we leaped from May to August.
Apparently, anything goes now. Kinda scary.

Good day!
After rain, & over two hours spent hiking through the forest in the canyon, the way ahead opened up.
Talk about a big reveal
My knees debated holding me up.
And I was the only human being in that place. Alone, but not lonely.

At Silver Lake Nature Trail26
Good day!
Turn up the sound & let it soothe you. I filmed this from the bridge that crosses the stream.
This was the last significant landmark before I reached my true destination.
I continue to edit Book4, so far sticking with my schedule better than ever. Maybe I can draft this year.

Good day!
We seem to be settling into a seasonal weather pattern, which is far better than the epic heat weve suffered the last few years.
I dont fear August heat here like I do July heat. The days are shorter. It takes until afternoon to heat up.

Good day!
All of nature is magical, but often I find those special places many overlook.
The castle ruins on the mountaintop.
The secret door in the tree.
The clearing in the forest where magic still lingers.
The gold that grows where the magic is strongest.

Good day!
A view from early in my last hike, about the time the drizzle stopped.
Id ignored the weather forecast because the temperature was ideal, upper 60s (+19C). It stayed that cool, too.
Yet, even after my big day, I returned home & finished editing a chapter.
Be everwell.

Okay, heres the complete experience. Even when the stream was far below me, it was still loud.
This video shows you why.
This was one of those hikes where its impossible to see everything.
The Bitterroot Mountains never, ever disappoint. I also didnt see anyone until on the way back.
Be everwell.

Good day!
What was really strange while hiking was how often I had really tiny streams running along the side of the old forest road on the opposite side from the larger stream.
Water stereo.
Eventually, each little stream would cross the road to join the larger one.
What a joy.

Good day!
It drizzled on me to start yesterday. I paralleled this creek & listened to it all the way to my destination.
It was quite a hardship.
Thanks to the canyons echo, the sound never faded completely.
Ill always remember this as the hike when I finally mastered trekking poles. It helped.
Be everwell.
