Mt. Phelps 7.08

Alpine wild flowers.


Toes and branches.



Crowding the summit.



Great flowers, but not the way down.


View from the top.

July 4th at Woodrat 7.08

Rat Race - a paragliding competition. Up there are the pilots getting into position and waiting for the moment at which they can start toward the first waypoint.


Before they go all the way up there, they gather down here to get coordinates for the day's task.


Imagine this in motion.


Everyone's very focused on launch.
