しぜんのなかにいるといつもきぶんがよくなります。 - My mood always improves when I am

out in nature.

Well, how shall I begin? I chose a 11.5 km high alpine hike today with wonderful views and three lakes to gaze at. It involved crossing multiple snow fields and lots of muddy areas. My hiking boots definitely did their job today - although I did encounter people in sandals! The elevation gain was 320 meters, so not too bad, but still enough of a workout at 3720 meters (at the top). It was quite windy on top, I had to wear all I had with me to keep from freezing. It is a very popular trail, so on a beautiful Sunday there were lots of people out... 

I managed to take a boatload of photos again, and I would easily have enough for two posts today once more, but I am exhausted. I'll share the rest in a gallery at a later time.

As far as wildlife, I got a pika (kind of a high mountain rabbit) and a big horn sheep (closeup this time) on camera.

Not looking forward to the work week...

    @せっちゃん Yes, quite cute but very skittish. I had to sit there for a long time until it would come out and still it was pretty far away. I zoomed in as much as I could.

    @mika matus どうもありがとう! I am having a great time taking photos, but it is lots of work on the computer afterwards selecting and editing the best ones. 😊

    @jasmin At this elevation, snow persists into July and some snow fields survive the whole summer even.
