Summer Pictures

I'm not sure where summer went. I haven't even put away my snow skis yet. I worked too much, trapped between making money for my kid's college when the customers need me, and spending time with my kids. Another week and it will be October.

My daughter is turning into a great hiker and understands we live in a special place. Sam might too, but he still pretends not to. He finally admitted that watching those elk battle was pretty cool, but he still likes to pretend seeing grizzly bears is nothing special.

Sunday was our last summer hike. I worked everyone pretty hard, and after 7 hours of off-trail wandering they were happy to let me carry them across the river. I was happy to do it while I still can.

Now it is time to chase some elk and make fall pictures.
 
First day of summer 2016 means I get to bump this one back up.


I'm staying at UNC Charlotte for the summer. Wandered around campus a bit this evening, and really liked the look of the moon over what I assume is the engineering quad. The photo doesn't quite do the scene justice. One of the guys sitting down would later come over and chat with me a bit.


Long exposure/HDR of the sunset at a little pond at UNCC. Bugs nearly ate me alive on the 30 second exposures.
 
Not quite "summer," but from the last couple weeks, summer starts May 1 in AK. :D

Just from my cam at the windmill,but they are summer pics.
The elk sure have had fun shoving the camera around. Posing it seems.

Hiked across the Bob over Memorial Day weekend. Not technically summer but did get some good pics. Good through-hike to start off the summer.
