Ominous
A view of stormy clouds over the Merced River Canyon. Note the red conifers in the middle of the image -- they are victims of bark beetles encouraged by the 4 year California drought. There are many groves of pine and fir trees throughout the Sierra Nevada -- sad to see and a threat to wildfire. And the bark beetles are not limited to the Sierra -- they have laid waste to millions of acres of trees from the Rockies west and from Canada to Colorado.
Hope you have a great day whenever you see this! Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your kind comments -- I appreciate them all.
