Scenes of wild beauty from ...
Sibley Volcanic Preserve.

I walked three or four miles - more than I'm currently permitted but I am trying to prepare for "Janet's hike" next weekend.
I took a three or four hour nap when I got home in a so far futile attempt to recuperate.

I took pictures of only a fraction of the available and blooming wildflowers.

I was the only person in the 'park' without a dog.


Breathtaking:


Much prettier from close up:


Barely noticeable cell phone and microwave towers (on the highest point in the park 'Roundtop'):


Maze to nowhere (dogs welcome):


Fog and flowers:






Maybe a bit past it's prime:
























Yes, eaten after taking the picture:


Duh! Everyone knows you can't hike anywhere without a paved path to follow:
