Ah, it sparked nice memories of spending the 4th at my dad’s lake house last year. Below is a shot of fireworks reflected on the lake water I never got around to posting [...]
Half-way up Atalaya
This is view from the point on the Atalaya trail just before the sign that says, “Steep Route” with a arrow pointing upward and “Easier Route” with another arrow pointing southward.

If I look at it a certain way, a faint rainbow appears diagonally from top left to bottom right across this picture. Maybe I'm just imagining things. Maybe the things I imagine are beautiful. Maybe imagination is of no consequence when all we have to do is stop ...
