After The Rains Came

On this hike over to and back from RSA, we noticed a significant dusting of snow on Mount Hamilton. We've seen this before, but it's not the kind of thing that happens all the time. Only when the weather conditions are just right.

Along the route we take, we go past the old Hammond-Snyder house.

When we reached The Pond, we saw one of the local California newts, or orange-bellied newts. They're not very swift on land, but I still had a little trouble getting a face on view for the next image.

On our way back from The Pond, I had to stop and snap a shot of the bright green grass. It had an almost day-glow brightness to it.

I believe this is an Amanita mushroom. I'm just not sure which species.

Love Those Tiny Droplets

 Alright. It's been a while since I posted some of my images online. So here are a few images I've recently captured to bring this Blog up to date. I'll continue to upload more images as time goes by.

Here are a few images I took on a morning after we had some rain. Before I got back home, the rain had returned. Chasing me back inside.

Then, a few days before the rains arrived, I took some images on a hike over to and back from Rancho San Antonio. Plus a selfie because I don't think I've put any images of myself online in a while.

That's it for now. At least until we have a break in the rain. Then I'll add some more.
