We managed to find a few of them that were still running pretty strong. In making a run up an old logging road to one of my favorite East looking viewpoints, we did find there was still some snow hanging around at the 5000 foot level.

Photo Art
After looking at all of the “photography” that I keep seeing on different sites and in our club competitions I have come to the conclusion and I may be being a bit of a purest on images that I am shooting. I try to shoot what I see and process it the same way. With…
