Sierra cloaked in clouds and the foothil ls green

“The winter clouds are hanging dark and heavy over the Sierra, hiding her peaks from view. The foothill oaks are quiet as raindrops drip from their bare branches. Here and there in the green grass wild mustard flowers are beginning to poke through and show their blossoms. Most everyone is inside today but I am outside trodding through the wet grass and enjoying the cool air.

Just a couple pictures from today, taken from Frazier Valley just a little west of Springville... It's been raining most of the day here and the mountains are getting lots and lots of snow.

“Is that where you live? I wanna live there too! It's beautiful!”

“I know...and I left it... but dont let it fool ya bait...its only green in the winter!”

“Sounds like the marsh grasses down here. A lovely green in winter, the rest of the time brown or black.”

“well its still prety in the summer, it just turns all to gold which is very nice too :)”

“Yep, that's where I live :) (well, almost, you follow that road in the first picture a couple more miles)”

“I like it when the hills are gold, too :)

“They're even better when the wildflowers start popping! I know exactly where that windmill is ;)”

“Windy, the wildflowers are popping - I've seen several species so far!”
