In a world of so many great photographers and writers, I am venturing into some unknown territories, leaving comfort zones, finally very willing to practice the art of seeing. By maintaining the practice of posting daily photos, I hope to continue learning about the possibilities that I trust are out there for the taking.
It was raining this morning. I figured no one would show up for this morning’s MHCC Hiking Group hike, to do the 9 mile long and 2500 feet elevation gain/loss loop hike up Murray Hill. I was going though as I don’t have a lot of time to get in shape carrying my backpack. Today I upped the weight of the pack to 28 pounds.
But Steve and Heidi showed up and I was thrilled to have company. It was raining a little when we drove to the trail, but not much. At the top of Murray Hill, two hours after we started hiking, the rain came and we cut our break short because we got cold.
Moments after descending from the Peak, I remembered we hadn’t taken the traditional group photo. Shivering and wet, Steve and Heidi posed while I set the timer, in the rain, and we got our shot.

This week’s photo assignment is stripes. Do you think this rainbow qualifies as a stripes submission? I don’t. But we were thrilled to see such a colorful rainbow from Murray Hill.
Just a little light show.
Well, Linda–
I see in your photo that you have the NEW, IMPROVED 2010 PCT BANDANA! It’s gorgeous. The guys on the trail this year are going to love it. I can’t wait to get mine in April.
XX, Andrea
I love my pink, very soft, bandana.
