JULY 2020

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY EVERYONE!

BERNAL GLACIER

    Bernal Glacier lies at the end of the fjord, Seno Montañas (Fjord of the Mountains). The fjord is 41 miles long and has mountain ranges on either side - the Cordillera Sarimiento to the west, and Cordillera Riesco to the east. We reached the upper end of the fjord just after sunrise. Traveling the still waters in the early morning, watching the reflections of the Cordilleras on both sides, was all that I could ask for. As it was early, not many folks out and about - just myself, racing madly from side to side, and National Geographic photographer, Rich Reid, setting up his time lapse iPhones. Heaven!
    This fjord, and the glacier, will show up in later months as it was a truly spectacular photographic experience. For now, I'll include some of the views of the fjord as we approach the Bernal Glacier.

        We'll get up close and personal with Bernal Glacier later. Just traveling this fjord was worth the whole trip! 
    I hope this finds you and yours all well, safe, and coping! 
            Til next month.

    you captured the peacefulness so well-balanced by the ruggedness of the rising mountains-nice!

CROSSING THE CASCADES - EAST TO WEST  After photographing the Palouse and the Scablands, Rick and I headed west to cross the Cascades heading for the west coast.  On the way we passed through apple country. Even with one's eyes closed, there was no doubt it was apple season. We passed through small towns with shipping warehouses. The smell in the air was totally apple scent! I suppose one might get tired of it after awhile, it was so heavy in the air. But, passing through, it was Delicious, or maybe Honey Crisp :-)) Apple orchards Pick up boxes or bags of apples, and leave your money in the drop box! You may, or may not, have figured out that for a brief moment, December was November. And if you are really a dedicated blog follower, you may, or may not, notice both November and December are posted.  Most of you will never notice. For the rest of us, that is our little secret. Take care of yourselves, and have a Happy Thanksgiving! Sylvia

FEBRUARY 2023

       So - you don't have a calendar for 2023. What to do? There is a "green" fix, at least for a few of you! If, by any chance you saved your 2017 COPPER CANYON Calendar, you can reuse it! February 1 is on a Wednesday, so it will work in 2023. Imagine that! BTW it will work for the rest of the year, as it wasn't a leap year, nor is 2023. This calendar, from 2012, will work for 28 days only! February 1 is on a Wednesday, but as 2012 was a leap year, it won't work for March forward! (Who has a 2012 Calendar anyway, except me, of course!)                                                                                                   2023 As promised, this month's images are no...

  LOOKING ACROSS THE MOORE PLACE AT BULL HILL The "high country" - evergreens, aspens, meadows, afternoon rains and lightning.       This track is a shortcut from the Gold Camp road to the road leading down to Beaver Creek, and our summer dwelling - the cabin. Saves driving an extra couple of miles. Victor is just the other side of Bull Hill. Cripple Creek a few miles to the right. THE WIDOW WOMAN'S PLACE      When we first started summering the cattle in the "high country" in the early 1950's, this is where we stayed! (The disparaging name came with it.) While it was in a bit better shape then, it was pretty much the same as you see it. It's located in a pasture called "The Moore Place".      Off to the right, behind the pole fence, is a spring-fed water tank where we got our water; the outhouse was about where the white boards are. We only used two rooms: the one with the window on the left side was the main room, and next to it a...
