Day two of my Birthday weekend trip

Was up at O dark hours again off with John as tour guide.As it had rained at the motel over night we were surprize to have that white junk " snow " all over the high peaks of the MTNS .Drive north on 395 took use too the hot creek just at sunrise.Then we moved over by Covict Lake area for great photo's.
Took a brake for breakfast at Tom's place which has alot of history with it. Now with belly's fuel-up it was a drive on part of old 395 back to Bishop. With lower altitude came some more great colors
After returning to the motel were John download his picture's , it was my turn to finish off the afternoon by driving up to the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest.

Hope you took an extra blanket, jacket or sleeping bag along as it looked like over 10,000 ft. things were a just a little nippy? Are you the guy who says SNOW is a 4 letter word? Sure looks beautiful on those mountains! I am still waiting for my calendar with all these georgous California shots! Keep up the nice work! :<O Happy New Year too! Bets

Some very fine landscape shot, I particularly liked the misty and moody ones, V

Some very nice pics here Lion. Much of it looks familiar, except it's covered with snow. Happy Birthday!

Love your pictures. We know these places well...these are our old stumping grounds. We often stay up at Rock Creek, above Tom's place. The Bristle Cones are also fascinating. Hard to decide which one is the best picture. Looks like you had a very nice birthday, Lion. Thanks for the beautiful pictures...we really enjoyed them.

The photos are fantastic. I have been to some of these areas, but not when it snowed.
