Yes I am missing winter. Over 100 degrees most of today. Spent 30 minutes cranking the landing gear down on a preloaded trailer I picked up in Sacramento this afternoon. (The landing gear is what holds up the front of the trailer when it's not attached to a truck) Some idiot had it raised as high as it would go. No reason for that except as a bad joke. Anyway, looking through pictures for something to edit with Lightroom and Silver Efex. Thanks Glenn Waring for telling me about this program and how to get to it once I had added it to Photoshop and Lightroom. I posted an unedited version of this last year in December.
Here's a link to the unedited version
Took this a month ago about 60 miles east of Winnemucca Nevada on I-80. Needed to go wide to get everything I wanted into this picture. I was too far away to do a in camera panorama shot, but with a 42 megapixel sensor, felt pretty safe just cropping the top and bottom. (90% of the time I don't see any benefit to having that many pixels, but it does come in handy when cropping) This was the first snow I'd seen this winter, but I knew it was just the beginning.
This landscape was taken from Walden Ponds Wildlife Habitat, near Boulder Colorado. It is a reclaimed gravel/sand pit resulting in a series of adjacent small lakes, with their banks forested and replanted with native species.
Here, we see the Front Range, foothills, and the snow-capped Rocky Mountains.
Walden Ponds was named for Walden "Wally" Toevs, a Boulder County Commissioner from 1972 to 1980, who was instrumental behind the development of this area. But I don't think that Henry David Thoreau would mind the naming of this wonderful reclaimed natural area : )
A typical highway scene not far from Reno,Nevada.The route of Interstate 80 was first used by California bound travelers during the gold rush days of the 19th century and was called the California trail.
The path starts out in the right direction, but it would be a long walk to the Rocky Mountains hahaha. First you would pass the dark peaks in the background, "The Front Range", then the snow-capped peaks behind are about 65 miles from this walkway.

Beneath the snowcapped peaks of Mt Mansfield in Vermont, emerald green grass and popping tree buds emerge, indicating the arrival of Spring.

Thank you so much for any comments! I really appreciate it!
The Snake River at Oxbow Bend in Grand Teton National Park in September. This was taken next to Colter Bay Village on a day trip from Yellowstone National Park. The two parks are right next to each other. This is about 45 minutes from Grant Village. All the villages in the park are about a 45 minute drive apart. They were stagecoach stops long ago to change horses or spend the night. It may have been as far as they could go in a day at ten miles per hour. #NPS #GrandTetonNationalPark #Wyoming #NationalParkService #mountains #Berge #montagnes #nature #Natur #outdoors #scenic #snowcaps #clouds #OxbowBend #SnakeRiver #SommetsEnneigés #Schneekappen #nuages #Wolken #雲 #山 #川 #Fluss #fleuve #landscape #Landschaft #paysage #景色
Spring days can be warm and sunny in Denver, but there will still be snow in the mountains. This is a view from Sloan Lake in Denver, looking west to the foothills and beyond to the Rocky Mountain peaks.

There was still plenty of snow in the high mountains in mid-May. In fact, in one day of our trip, we were bogged down in a snowstorm, but not on this day!
The fire-red rock formations in the mid-ground is The Garden of the Gods; the highest snowy peak is Pike's Peak.
Warm temperatures in the grasslands of Rocky Mountain Arsenal Wildlife Refuge, and near freezing temperatures in the snowy Rockies make a dramatic Springtime contrast.
