High Sierra Topix

While winter is just fully arriving in the Sierra, spring is sprunging elsewhere.

A couple of my bulbs were poking out of the ground but got snowed on last weekend. That is about the only sign of Spring around my place. The last time the creek thru my property flooded good, I finally managed to take a drive up the FS roads a couple days later, under 2 miles from home and what a awesome sight watching the many small, white falls in the drainage below part of Little Sneider Creek on the Plumas NF. They really stood out with the green moss, mixed conifer forest, dark rocks. Very nice. My yard was a mess by the creek but it was beautiful a few miles away.
