Snowy Fidalgo Island

Snow on Fidalgo Island? It is known to occur perhaps once or twice a year in the wintertime. Fortunately for me, it happened while I was here! Soft, gentle yet very dry snowflakes blanketed the landscape during a twenty-four hour period. In spite of the freezing temperatures, I, of course, couldn't resist heading out with my Nikon to document the beautiful snowy scenes around Washington Park and Skyline Marina...

































This happened on February 23 and there's still a bit of it lingering around, slowly melting away...But now I'm ready for warmer temperatures and springtime.

Yreka, CA

I'm trying to head north for spring break but got stuck here in Yreka, a gold-rush era town near the Oregon border. Seems that spring really hasn't arrived yet, at least not in and around the Siskiyou Mountains. I'm hanging out at a motel in hopes that the roads will be cleared for travel tomorrow...




The parking lot is starting to fill up and the snow hasn't let up...
