Playing Catch-up to Now - part two.

Here's the rest of February for your viewing pleasure.

Jeffery at a ferny waterway on the Rock Creek Road

See the Spaniel on the boulder?  Is it running, or is it perched on a ledge?

lichen-moss bull's-eyes

Tree growning out of a rock on Rock Creek

It now costs money to trek across Table Mountain.

Frozen pond

The journey beckons; the day is brisk but sunny

The first wildflowers make a pretty show

Last year's fire swept through this giant ravine where Phantom Falls lurks

There's Phantom Falls!  It's been too long since we saw ya!

Zoom up; with the dark cave created by the overhang at the bottom of the falls.

That's Jeffery standing on the bluff where we first saw Phantom Falls, and I'm at the top 'o the Falls itself.

And there I am at the top of the Falls; photo'd by Jeffery

Tiny red flora

Pink roots at the water's edge

Creek bottom is interesting

Jeffery and I head away from Phantom Falls, back towards the car

The Sutter Buttes seem to float on the water-fields; Avalon-like

I just love Table Mountain with it's litlle hidden ravines and grottoes 

Low ground flora

We don't know what created this "shadow"; water erosion?  It was too far to get to see up close

Tree growing out of rock

In one direction is the big ravines; but turn around, and it is this smooth sward of upland

We wended to the baby falls we usually visit, but this year, from the north side of the mountain

It snowed in Tobin!  Matt and Wendie informed me that it also snowed in Sacramento that day.

View out the window.  Please note Sara's Christmas-gift "found things" hanging to the right.  An older one hangs to the left of it.

Airy-fairy powder snow on the cedar overhanging our deck.!

Me skiing under the snow-making machine

Frosted flora in Sierra Valley

Total pogonip

It's an Alien Being on a perfect ski-day

Here's the Winter View of that highway bridge overlooking Donner Lake that Jeffery took for me.  Thankyou Jeffery.

I think that's pretty much it.  Sorry for the hasty presentation!
