Winter is Coming
I love getting out after a storm and being able to look at untouched snow (and play in too.) In the distance, another weather system coming.
Wintery Willows
Fresh snow covers these roadside willows to create a interesting shot.
Stacked
Came across of bunch of cairns in the forest last weekend. I suspected that this one had fallen over in the recent storm so I stacked a few rocks on top again for the next lucky traveler.
Forest Green
Went for a walk in the forest and this lichen’s color stood out against this old stump.
Silver Lake and Thunder Mountain
Drove into Tahoe on highway 88 last Saturday morning. We came around a bend to this beautiful view of Silver Lake with the reflection of trees in the water and a snow capped Thunder Mountain.
Covered in Snow
The recent bad weather brought much needed rain and snow to the Tahoe basin. You can see the amount of snow that covers this pine bough.
Natural Flocking
On our way to Tahoe this past weekend, we stopped at Shot Rock and had our first opportunity to enjoy the 1st snow fall of the season. I loved the natural flocking on these old junipers.
Into the Depths
With the much anticipated opening of The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies this week; I thought it would be fun to post one of my cave photos. This was taken in 2011 at Natural Bridges in Calaveras County. It is a limestone cave/grotto.
Rain Adds Color
Some people thank that when the weather is bad, everything is dark and dreary. I think that rain adds color to the scene. Greens are lusher, the oranges of the rocks seem to pop.
