We went straight from a hot, hot Summer to Winter in about 2 days. The temperatures dropped quickly from 80s, 90s and 100s all the way down to 65 in Fresno!
We had our first snowfall Wednesday night (down to 6,000 feet so it didn’t get us yet at 4,000). I was on my way out to Big Creek and some of the vistas from the windy road were incredible. Mountains looming out of bubbly, wintry-looking clouds…low clouds settled in the valleys and working their way up the sides of the mountains…wind blowing through the trees. It was all very dramatic! I managed one picture before my camera battery went dead, so I put it in our header. I really wanted more of the trees, valleys and mountains in the low clouds, but I’m sure there will be another time soon. It promises to be a long, cold, wet/snowy winter. We need the rain!!
Cool header! I love the Fall. We don’t get nearly as much snow as you guys, which most of the time I don’t mind, but sometimes that’s fun and makes the season feel right, ya know? Hopefully we’ll get a chance to head down your way again soon!
Love the picture of the clouds and trees. However, you have to go a long way to beat the redwoods at McKinley Grove we visited yesterday! Did you take any pictures? I didn’t see you with your camera!! Oh, that’s right…you weren’t feeling up to snuff (he..he..)
