These centuries old pine trees on Highway 18 are some of my favorites.
They've been sculpted by winds, ice, snow and rain into amazing shapes.
Enduring, persevering...
Growing more beautiful, I think, as time passes.

Wednesday Around Here
It's almost August and thistles are blooming...
Thunderheads are dotting the sky here and there. Mostly there, as in way to the east over Big Bear.
The elderberries are ripening fast, almost ready to pick.
I wish some of the rain clouds would rain on us...
But they keep their distance, eventually disappearing behind the haze of smog that fills the San Bernardino valley this time of year.

And...I just realized it's Thursday! Oh, well...

Amazing Hydrangeas
The back garden is slowly being put to rights, but I won't post any photos of it until it's completely done. I'll just focus on the hydrangeas' amazing ability to produce so many colors on one plant!

Sunlight and Shadows
Coming home from a friend's house down in Cleghorn Canyon last week I was struck by how autumnal this scene looked. The trees are dead, but still beautiful, victims of a fire a couple of years ago. The brush is pretty much this tan color year round, except in the spring. But, it makes a nice change from up here in Crestline...
...once in a while.

Morning Light
Morning sunlight shining through my studio's windows brought out the light faeries.
They're very elusive creatures, only coming out when the atmosphere is just right.
When they appear in the house my cats love to chase them but, happily for the faeries, my studio is a fur-free zone.
"I beg your pardon! I have fur, and so do many others who live here, Victoria! Fur free zone indeed."
Oops...

Skywatch Friday
A pretty sunset from several days ago. The skies have been hazy lately from all the fires in California. There have been at least four in these mountains since the start of summer, and there's one burning right now about 15 miles to the east of me. Hopefully, our wonderful firefighters will have it contained soon.
