View of beautiful Avalanche Creek in Glacier National Park, Montana

The heavily laden branches of this tree bent under the weight of the snow which triggered a cascading avalanche of snow about 30 meters down onto the house and car below. It was an impressive load of snow. Perhaps if I had been standing under it I would have been buried and killed.
A scary autumn storm deposited a layer of ice and then a layer of snow onto all of the trees in my neighborhood, ending the autumn foliage season. I was outside taking photos before dawn, as the ice and snow quickly melted.

This is panorama of avalanche creek just upstream from the gorge area, created from 6 frames shot vertically. A sweeping 180-degree bend in the creek, with a nice pool in the left side of the image before the channel drops again and heads into the steeper section downstream.
It's always interesting as you climb higher in the mountains to observe how you are not only progressing from one ecological zone to another (i. e., montane, subalpine, alpine), but also moving backward in season. At my house, which is just under 200', spring plants begin stirring in March or April and are past their prime in June, when much of the mountains are still buried in snow. The trailhead for Lena Lakes is about 700' and not much different. July is definitely summer there. But as you get higher and higher you move back in season. Species of flowers that are shriveled at lower elevations change to flowers in full bloom, then to ones just blossoming, then to ones still under snow. And then, when you turn around and head back to the trailhead you reverse the process, moving from spring back to summer and through the whole lifecycle of the flowers in the course of a few hours.

Had this for maybe two weeks and I have been to lazy and busy to post.
Its called it the avalanche because this hardsuit was built after snowmegedion and was the only way to fight in the harsh cold conditions.
Glacially melted water gushing down the narrow gorge contrasts the pink rocks covered with lush green mosses and ferns.
Mueller Lake during an rare warm summer season in Mt Cook the mountains were looking bare. This was due to the large number of Avalanches caused by the warmer temperatures. This image shows an ice shelf waiting for the start gun.
Glacier National Park, Avalanche Creek - I believe this to be the loveliest spot on earth - early into our hike up to Avalanche Lake. I didn't think we would make it because we couldn't get past this area the photography was so splendid. Actually, this came on the hike back and, I cannot lie - three exposures combined with Photomatix to get some detail in the depths of the slot.

This is from the Avalanche Lake hike in Glacier National Park. The path was actually extremely busy, so I was very lucky to be able to get this shot. It conveys an excellent sense of loneliness.
Everywhere we looked up there, there was a waterfall. Except that field where there was still a lot of snow, and on that there were bears. Photo coming right up.

July 5th, 2011 - After the long travel day yesterday we were ready for a great day of exploring Glacier National Park. First order of business: find a new campsite. Then, hike one of the few trails open to us, the trail to Avalanche Lake. There had been a LOT of snow last winter, and while we waited as long as we could (summer ends early when you're in the school system) to go to Glacier, it wasn't long enough. The Going to the Sun road was still mostly closed and the hiking was very limited.
My male white cat whom is slowly dying in autumn leaves . To all that own cats if he or she changes behaviour take it to a vet or you could rue the day like I am . I hope this does not offend Anyone .
I love these delicate flowers that can only be found in the high country directly in front of the receeding snow.

Avalanche Creek Gorge at Glacier National Park. Unfortunately the creek was low, but the calm water in the pool below was a gorgeous blue. Not sure it would be if the water were rushing through.
I was freaking some people out when I was getting this shot. They swore that I and my camera would slip and fall. I never thought for a minute that I would, which is usually what has gotten my into trouble in the past. The curse of over confidence.
I often enjoy using an off camera flash to overpower the sun and isolate plants. I liked the effect with this lily up in Manning Park.

This was fun--I happened to be aiming my cam at the top of Half Dome trying to get some fluffly little puffs of snow that were falling off the top. Next thing you know, what seemed like a nice big chunk of the snowcap came sliding off. I *should* have just held still, and pressed my trigger down, and let my cam capture it all, but instead, I wiggled and jumped up and down and turned my camera every which way. Anyway...you can still get the idea of what I saw. It roaaarrrreed all the way down. REALLY cool!
Anyway, posting this made me think of this song.
I'd had this general idea for quite a while, but it wasn't until Brooke announced this month's contest's theme being weather that it crystallized in my head. The original inspiration came from Wintersleep's song Orca.
Dedeker Winston and I shot this once, then I discovered the entire set had been shot out of focus. Oops. Luckily Dedeker was able to meet me again to reshoot this concept... I'm really happy with how it turned out!
Un-fun fact: a couple hours after we shot this, I had an emergency wisdom tooth removal. Which is why I'm up so early posting photos now, the pain keeps waking me up early in the morning. But at least the swelling has gone down so I have stopped looking like a greedy chipmunk :)
