I’m traveling through the Pacific Northwest this week. Here’s a picture from the town of Weed, in the far north of California.

Happy Summer Solstice! Gigantic Snow Plow

Up in the mountains of Northern California, there is still 15-20 feet of snow. Lassen National Park is using this giant snow plow (the blades are 5 feet tall) to clear the roads, but they’re only getting though a tenth of a mile a day. So much for Sunny California… Photo taken June 16th. Happy Summer Solstice!

Early Morning Buds.

A cluster of red buds on some endangered snow flowers in Lassen National Park yesterday. The park ranger told me that they grow up through the snow in early spring, feeding on the roots if trees rather than on chlorophyll.

A hot geyser in the snow

A hot geyser (or gay-sir, as my Icelandic friends insist is the correct pronunciation) in snowy Lassen National Park today. Brown bubbles and sulfuric steam… a good detour.
