This morning I decided to drive to the top of Mt. Tam and walk around the circle at the top. When I got out of the car, the smell of the mountain plants in fall was beautifully overwhelming and filling. As I stepped onto the trail, I smelled the smoke from fires to the north. No view of San Francisco or the ocean today!

Leaving Home
Looking from the mountaintop to the south
Smoke adds taste and smell to blue sky and clouds
Looking north over the reservoir
The trail is still wet from early morning fog
A different landscape on the shady side
The car is stored
A mountain home reverencing adventures of the past
