This photo was taken at Brown's Ranch. Yes, alas there are HV powerlines that run through the property.

Indulge me by letting me share with you this sad event the other day.

A woman who went missing while hiking with her husband Sunday (9/12/21) has been found dead near a trail in northeast Scottsdale.

Police say the body of 57-year-old Donna Miller from Rhode Island was discovered in the Brown’s Ranch hiking trail system.

Miller's husband says that he and his wife started hiking in the area at around 12:30 p.m. The pair separated but had planned to meet up a short time later. However, Donna never showed up at their meeting spot. Her husband called 911 at around 3:15 p.m.

Firefighters from Scottsdale and Phoenix as well as MCSO and the Maricopa County Mountain Rescue Team arrived at the scene and began an extensive search of the area. Search dogs and a helicopter also assisted in the search. Donna's body was found shortly after 9 p.m.

The cause of death has not confirmed. However, police believe she suffered heat related illness and environmental exposure.

There was an excessive heat warning in effect this past weekend, and Scottsdale Fire said they’ve had many more mountain rescues this summer compared to last.

It is a tragic reminder how quickly your body can "shut down" due to the heat.

Your glasses are eloquent...

@RiveDroite
Maybe, you're wrong.
Boring everydays are very very beautiful when outsiders see it.
I'm bored, too.

Pardon Shiftenglish (my broken English).

@shifte. I haven't actually posted anything - I was going to but my connection dropped before I could finish by selecting a decent photo, and I didn't come back to it. Nothing to do with my glasses, frankly! Think before you post some bizarre attempt at humour, please!

@TravellinBob
OK! No worries!
You are more handsome than Karl V.

Breathtaking! Cherry blossom road?

@shifte yes. There's a mix of pink and white around town. It was quite a good show this year.

And trying to find the car afterwards... About an hour with no references other than winding roads through empty fields of sagebrush and eventually this helpful fence.

And the car's antenna after leaving the fog.

Aye, Fife - home of great artists like King Creosote, James Yorkston, The Beta Band and the whole wonderful Fence Collective

Must be something they put in the water up there. Or maybe it's that fresh north sea air.
