Apr 8: Spring Storm

The season is changing. It's full spring one day, deep winter the next.
A big spring storm nailed the Wasatch, providing some terrific late season skiing.

Cait Morgan rips it through the trees.

Then it became so snowy that the camera could barely see anything. What it did see, however, was strange...
This guy has a tree for a head. (Nate Blouin)

And this guy only has a head.

Wet and gray, the camera stayed in the bag the rest of the day.

May 25: Snow Melt

What's the deal with snow in late May?

Wet heavy snow coated the neighborhood, snapping off branches on the bigger trees. I measured one broken limb with a 10" diameter. Yikes.

Our crab apple tree is limber lumber compared to the old oaks.

Watch it pick itself up off the grass.
Awaken from hibernation.
Shake off the snow.
Rise to meet the sun.
Welcome in Spring.
etc etc etc.
