Steep Mountain Canyon

This is a view up the canyon in the Desatoya Mountains that Beth and I hiked a few weeks back. It was a very scenic canyon With Aspen trees in areas, a creek running down it and these steep rocky outcroppings. We would like to go back sometime and hike further up into the area. There is also another trail just south of this one that we would like to check out more.

Snowy Hike

Beth and I went out the other day to central Nevada to see if we could fill my tag, however we could not find any deer.While we did not find any deer we did enjoy the hiking we did in the area we were in. The mountains were covered in a couple inches of snow and the views were really nice. One canyon we hiked up had aspens that were on the tail end of their fall color but the colors against the white snow made a nice contrast. These are just a couple of the images I took that day while we were out.

More Snow

We got just a bit more snow here last night, nothing compared to what they got in the mountains, and there is a chance for snow all week. Now that we have plenty of snow pack around here I think I am ready for the Spring and getting outside more often. These were taken first thing this morning in the back yard before it melted.

Snowing Again

It is snowing around here again today. We have probably had a few more inches accumulate in the yard today, not near what they are getting in the mountains I am sure. I am taking Hannah to the father and daughter dance tonight so I am hoping it stays like it is now, just a few flakes now, as she is really excited to go. Anyway this is just a quick shot out the back earlier that I converted to black and white just to play around a bit.

Snow

So I was saying the other day that I would rather have snow than the wind and it looks like we got it, though not in the amount of 5 feet that I said (unless you live in the mountains) which probably makes a lot of people happy. I know not everyone likes the snow as much as I do but after the last month of spring temperatures our snow pack went from way above normal to taking a significant drop, so we really needed another round of snow storms to be sure our area has all the water it needs over the summer. With the really fluffy couple inches of snow in the yard this morning I decided to go out back and see if I could find anything that peeked my interest, nothing like doing a short photo walk in your own backyard. Out of the few things I found I liked how the green of these tulip bulb leaves looked against the white snow.
