We get most of our annual rainfall in May and June. That can be a bit tiresome at times, but it does produce some nice photographic opportunities when the low lying clouds envelope the mountain tops. Often, when the clouds disperse, we’ll see a fresh mantle of snow left behind. Not enduring snow but it’s pretty while it lasts. I’ll try to convey some of those images in today’s post, beginning with this first picture I took from our back deck, yesterday.
I used a zoom lens (100 mm focal length) to get this close-in shot. There is no snow below about 7000 ft., so we don’t have any down in the valley to be concerned about. Doesn’t mean it can’t happen though.
Turning my attention toward the east, I viewed this interesting cloud over on the Three Sisters, or parts of two of them.
My last picture for today was taken about a week ago, also from the back deck. The mountain is Ha Ling Peak, located directly behind our house and enjoying some warm sunshine attempting to burn off the last of the mist. This shot was taken with a similar magnification, focal length 110 mm.
Mountain photography can be as easy as sitting on your back deck. Sometimes. I guess it’s time to get back out to look for something new.
