I rushed home and checked flicker and found your wonderful yellow flowers. Thanks!

So I never chanced it.<BR/><BR/>But there is this lovely old tree shrouded with tons of moss, and I was hoping to capture a shot of it. Actually a good thing that I did not take the camera, it was a wind chill of -18, and I walked. There is no way I could have stood still to get a shot. LOL. Even when I got inside it was still freezing. <BR/><BR/>This is White Rock, which should be only a little different [ we feel ] than where you live. LOL.<BR/>JenRURAL https://www.blogger.com/profile/11871803235521431504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732609668331686820.post-21915905479104446312008-12-18T06:14:00.000-08:002008-12-18T06:14:00.000-08:00I remember coming home from my mission in Georgia ...I remember coming home from my mission in Georgia to the brown hills of the East Bay.

I laughed right out loud at your first photo with the arrows!! I love it! <BR/><BR/>Isn't it wonderful to be at the age when you don't care what other people think if your carry your camera around your neck to your mammo? I'm such a smart-alec I would have come up with some line like: I wanted a second opinion, or I wanted to get photos for my scrapbook... LOL<BR/><BR/>Beautiful photos of the plantings. It makes me miss my beautiful CA winters!

Not sure, yet, if it turned out. On the way home, there were a number of the intense purple salvias alongside the road with the snowy mountain looming up ahead and I was thinking what a unusual sight--it wasn't a good place to take a photo, though. The trip up was disappointing. We have been up there when there was snow on the road and snow falling--it was warm and sunny today, the road was dry as a bone and they wouldn't let us within two miles of the top. We got out and walked for quite a ways and found enough snow to make a few snowballs but all the snow is on the side of the mountain you have to hike to--not drive to. Totally bummed out! But, it was still fun (and very cold!)Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12660156433881882098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732609668331686820.post-69167423567999921932008-12-17T20:11:00.000-08:002008-12-17T20:11:00.000-08:00Beautiful shots and what lovely color -- as I look...Beautiful shots and what lovely color -- as I look out upon nothing but white. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732609668331686820.post-43466155639283076842008-12-17T18:53:00.000-08:002008-12-17T18:53:00.000-08:00A very good example of your interesting and weird ...A very good example of your interesting and weird climate.
