Yesterday was beautiful, a “shirtsleeve day” (requiring me to wear only two sweaters!), with sunshine and a dazzlingly clear sky. Clouds were so thick they almost stumbled over one another. By late afternoon, the mountains fully had emerged, ghostlike, clear, and seeming to arise straight out of the clouds. My camera couldn’t capture nearly enough craggy details, but it did catch the overall drama.
Slightly north of Broken Top stands the bold South Sister. By yesterday evening, it had emerged, icy and serene, with sparkling highlights. Among the Sister Mountains, the South Sister is the most climbed, as it’s easily accessible. One can park at Devil’s Lake and by crossing the Cascade Lakes Highway find a sudden climbing path that ascends sharply.
The late compelling sky over Broken Top and the South Sister provided that duo with a fluffy backdrop.
Which brings me to the sky itself, where an amazing array of immense clouds over the northernmost mountains covered and mimicked them.
Dear Friends, In spring weather, new variations abound of skies and mountains. Diana
