Alfalfa Fields are Dreaming
winter is subtle at times, the snow here comes and goes frequently... although I remember as a child near this spot the snow came deeper and lasted a long time. Now we get skiffs, occasionally a foot or two, and it melts off again. There was one year, maybe it was in the early 1980's, when this field was covered with 8 feet of snow in one huge storm, and up the mountain in Trout Lake there was at least 10 feet that fell in the same storm.
The White Salmon River is currently most well known for its rafting and kayaking, much of which happens just behind my back across the road. Just to my left as I take this is the tiny town of Husum... don't blink going by or you will miss it!
Here is a series of the area, the other two shots are closer to White Salmon near the Northwest Lake Dam... the area is full of orchards... apple, pear, cherry....and grapes.
