We finally had our second rainfall of the winter, with chilly temps, which meant snow on the mountains above Redlands. When I looked out my bedroom window, I saw the snow had come down lower than usual. I grabbed my camera and headed to the river's edge, when I can get the most open views of the mountains. By sundown the clouds had all gone, and some of the lower snow had disappeared. I was glad I went out when I did! And of course there is the paradox of oranges ripening in the grove in the foreground, with snow above. I will be away from my computer for a couple of days. I'll see you when I return. 12/30/20 My website: www.sparhawkphotography.com
Yesterday was the first time I put on a jacket in the last 8 months! We had our first rainstorm of the winter, a chilly one, and therefore the first snow on the mountains. (This is especially surprising, in that just last week we had two days that reached 90 degrees!) So, I guess it is jacket weather, at least for the moment. This shot is of the mountain that I can see from very close to my house, the one you've seen in numerous shots over the years--remember the lenticular clouds, the smoke plume... 10/10/20 My website: www.sparhawkphotography.com
Yesterday I posted a photo of the lenticular clouds over the mountains near my home, and promised to show what it looked like as the sun set and reflected pink in the clouds to the east. So here it is--I took quite a few as the sunset progressed, walking from one spot to another for "yet a better view". It was quite a sight, and was almost dark by the time I walked home through the neighborhood--all the pink gone by then. 11/8/20 My website: www.sparhawkphotography.com
