February 18th we had a good storm blow through bringing lots of snow to the area. Down here in the valley we got a months worth in 24 hours.

We got about 6 inches but, up in the mountains they got 20-30 inches. I’m sure most of you were seeing all the car wrecks, and hearing about the major interstate closures out here. Thankfully two days after the storm it was nice enough to get out and run some errands, and make a couple of images.

From my Patio shortly after daybreak the clouds began to break up.

Then I stopped to catch this view of the Cottonwood a Red-tail likes to perch on. He wasn’t there but, the view was pretty all covered in white.

It’s been in the low 50’s the last couple of days and today will be 57 degrees F! The snow here in the valley is melting so fast, but it’s been super windy the last two days. I’m hoping it tapers off this afternoon.

I hope you back east fared well through the Nor’easter and all are having a good week!

I saw this house while on our Alaska cruise in July this year. The view they have is amazing.

This image I made a couple of years ago while birding in the Pyramid Lake area. This was my lunch break spot.

This dirt lane is framed with Aspens, and Pine Trees. There are some old beaver ponds at the end of this lane. This image I made last spring while birding here.

This is one of my favorite views of the Carson River. I made this image last fall while birding.

Whatever Weds. Fog, Clouds, and a Hawk

January 18, 2023January 17, 2023Posted in Fuji X-T3, Nature, Nevada, Photography, Whatever WednesdayTagged Birding, Birds in the Wild, Clouds, Cottonwood Trees, Fog, Job's Peak, Pond, Red-tailed Hawk, Russian Olive Trees, Snow, Snowing44 Comments

We’ve had fog, and storm clouds the last week through the week-end up until last night. We also got a whole lot of snow. Here are a couple of images of the scenery. Recently the mornings have been foggy.

Foggy morning-

Clouds-After the storm had passed I looked out the window and saw Job’s Peak just peeking out from the clouds, and this brilliant cloud on the left lit by the afternoon sun.

Last week I took advantage of a break in the storm to go run some errands, and on my way home I spied this beauty in a tree on my street.

Red-tail Hawk-

We have cloudy skies in the forecast for the rest of the week. Temperatures are forecasted to be lows in the teens, and highs in mid 30’s I hope that holds so I can get out to do some birding and meet up with some friends.

I hope your week is going well, and you have a lovely week-end too!
