Pictures not Words

I have been trying to write lately, but I think my brain is on summer vacation, even if my body isn't. I've done some very cool things this summer, but when I try to write about them it sounds trite and uninspired. So rather than force something bland, I'll just show you some pictures and apologize for what I can only call "August Brain."

These photos are from the Third Pillar of Dana, which I climbed a few weeks ago with 5 friends. All the photos below were taken by and belong to Kolin Powick, famous (on this blog) for all his beautiful photos of our wedding. You can see more of his stuff on his website. Kolin gets endless props for his photography skills, which he possesses along with climbing skills, guitar skills, snowboarding skills, engineering skills, dog-training skills....he's one of those remarkably capable people that you're always glad to know.

Anyhoo, here are his photographs from our recent day in the Sierra.

On the approach (L to R: Jeff, me and my scar, Brad, Jon, Alex):
Honey...
Go Honey Go!

This is Jeff, "The King," sending the breathtaking final pitch...

And Alex being a wingnut on same:

And here we are heading back out to the car and dinner. Check out the scenery; it was one of the prettiest approaches I've ever done. I kind of felt like Frodo Baggins, and not only because I was a foot shorter than everyone else....

OMG! Aren't you just the prettiest bride ever!! :) Where did you guys get married? (I'm trying to nail the rocks there, but it could be several places...)

Sweet! I love the Rockies, but the Sierra has a very very special place in my heart. We'll be noodling about there next week! I'll look for the secret message you left for me, right? right?! ;) xxoo

Jen's right--you are the prettiest bride ever! I love how many of those photos show you laughing. What a beautiful day.

I know lots of bloggers do meet-ups where they go for coffee or lunch or shopping, but really, I think the three of us belong on the slopes together. Your wedding was at where I'm going next Jan., right? Maybe we should all meet in CO the next year??

I love hearing about what other people in other places are doing outdoors during the summer, so keep up the pics and tales!
