What's bothers me now, is that I heard a weird bird sound while hiking, and I don't know what bird it is!
Ooooh, purty!Speaking of mist..
I went to a National park today for a few hour hike.
If it would have been clear weather I could have seen really far, now there just was this wall of mist.
I need to go back in summer or autumn to see the full view with lakes and hills.

After driving there for 2 hours and hiking for 3 hours and then driving back another 2 hours, it felt nice to relax in a hot sauna, hoping my muscles do not hurt tomorrow that much..
Then there was this evening glow after 5 pm:

Beautiful pics and breathless scenery!!
I love hiking, it's a feeling like no other.
I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who gets bothered when I hear a bird I can't identify. I heard a bird one day that I couldn't identify. It took me months to figure out what that bird was. Funnily enough, I was on a local trail called Bird Trail that had informative signs along the way of various birds. One sign was about birds that are often heard, but rarely seen. I took a pic of the sign and went home and listened to all them on Audubon and I found my bird lol.
I hope you'll find your bird eventually! Thanks for the lovely pics!

First snow came, which is super nice, since it would be so dark and colourless without it, well, as if white is a colour..
