For #MountainMonday here's a view of the unnamed peak "12782" (its elevation in feet on maps) and Mount Morgan from Gem Lake, at the upper end of the lovely Little Lakes Valley in California's Eastern Sierra. (vertical photo)
Views from my journey to work today. I say "work" rather loosely, as I'm retired but how can a day containing such views be really considered labour? In reality, I would work for free as walking in such scenery and showing people the beauty of the Alpujarra and the mountains is enough for me. Today with a group of Scots, Irish, English and Norwegians all enjoying the day. For me, it's truly a labour of love.
A beautiful start to the morning at #ForkedMeadow#California! I wonder how the new #WolfPack south of us is doing on this fine summer morning? It is only a matter of time before we see some wolves at Forked Meadow!
Yesterday the high was 69f and the overnight low was 43f. Right now it's 48f. #CaWx
Believe it or not, there's drizzle at #ForkedMeadow#California ! This is from some of the tropical moisture coming through the state. The drizzle isn't enough to make the rain gauge register but everything is damp and fresh, and with a sheen of moisture. We'll take anything we can get in the #Sierras !
Yesterday the high was 72f with an overnight low of 49f and currently it's 53f.
This was the only person #dancing at the time to a rock band in a weekly #StreetFair in #Truckee#California. It may have been because it was very hot. Temps were 90 f which is rather warm for a community high in the #SierraNevada mountains.
The weekly event is Truckee Thursdays. It's very well attended.
This #pine locate in the eastern #SierraNevada#Mountains in #Nevada (elev. about 8,00 ft / 2,500 m ) with what I think are the male cones (strobili). Not sure what kind of pine it is but it is very appealing. 🌲
It's a glorious #summer day at #ForkedMeadow#California. It's currently 57f. Overnight it went down to 50f. Yesterday it was up to 85f. I think it'll be another warm day today. Now is the time to be in the #SierraNevada when it's blazing hot in the valley. Amazingly there is still snow on Nelson Mountain (altitude 10326ft). Anything above 10000ft in the central #Sierras is still going to have at least some snow this week.
