Ruby Mountains Panorama, Lamoille

Went for a fabulous hike- the range front trail is open to about 3 miles in. I love this time of year... the mountains are still tipped in snow and spring is starting to take over.


Ha! You can tell I wrote this a couple days ago. Why? Because it is snowing right now. I feel like this picture is 'dreams of spring.'  Coming from Oregon to Northern Nevada, I definitely prefer seeing snow now and again versus the endless rains of my childhood. It's so light and airy, fluttering down around you, changing sound. But at 5am on the way to work? April? (I've seen it snow here into June too). 


Zen. Zen. Zen. I feel like I'm yelling "Serenity now!" LOL


Have a great day.

Roaring Springs Ranch, the west side of the Steens Mountains area in Oregon (no Steens Mountains in the picture)

Amazing, with the lava capped tops of the hills.   The ranch is really busy, there is always somebody out and about during the summer.

 

The canyons look like this. I always wonder what is up there? But I'm fairly sure it's just more rock, a few antelope.

This is actually a five photo panorama.  It's on the south side of the valley.
