This author has yet to write their bio.Meanwhile lets just say that we are proud John Poimiroo contributed a whooping 2034 entries.
Southern California color spotter Alena Nicholas returned home to the San Bernardino Mountains to find the forest near peak along Rim of the World and Arrowbear Lake. Alena promises to send more photos of Lake Arrowhead and Lake Gregory in coming days, though these already have us wishing we were there this evening to capture […]
Color spotter Shuo Li, broke away from studies as an international student to visit the Eastern Sierra just before snow fell in the high country. Several of the areas he photographed — Conway Summit, June Lake and Mammoth Lakes — have changed significantly since he photographed them late last week, though Crowley Lake and the […]
Snow dusted high peaks across the Shasta Cascade today, but has left lower elevations still peaking. Color spotter Jeff Titcomb found this contrast between snow atop Indian Head, a peak along Keddie Ridge in the northern Sierra Nevada and black oaks peaking near Greenville in Plumas County. At Indian Falls near the Feather River, Jeff found […]
With snow blanketing high points throughout the Eastern and Northern Sierra, as Mono County color spotter Alicia Vennos reports, “most areas are now past peak.” Exceptions are northern Mono County where Walker, Coleville and Topaz in the Antelope Valley “are absolutely gorgeous, right now.” and the Owens Valley. These territories are, as Alicia describes, a […]
As long as we’re desert-minded, color spotter Patricia Costa visited Borrego Springs this past weekend for the first time and reports she was “pleasantly surprised.” Most people bypass Borrego Springs for Palm Springs, she writes, which is why “this place is sooooo nice!” Patricia, we’ll forgive you for telling the world… or at least our […]
Occasionally, we’ll get autumn shots from other parts of the country. This autumn, we posted one from Idaho. California is our focus, but it’s interesting to see what’s happening elsewhere, now and then, though we’ll always be true to CA. There’s just too much fall color here to start taking on the rest of the […]
Max Forster seems to find the unlikely places for fall color, and that’s why we so like his contributions. Last autumn, he photographed Death Valley. This November, it’s the Avenue of the Giants (US 101) in Humboldt County. He even sends a shot of five turkeys evading being Thanksgiving Dinner by trotting into Humboldt Redwoods […]
Winter embraced autumn at Mammoth Lakes, today. Color spotter Alicia Vennos got out with her camera to appropriately named Snowcreek, to photograph peaked aspen leaves flocked with powder. Rain and snow is dropping across Northern California and where red, orange and yellow color is still on the trees, the contrast is beautiful. Peak (75-100%) GO […]
Bishop color spotter Gary Young stopped by his old swimming hole, yesterday. He sent back these images and reflections of 35 years ago, when he’d spend summer days with barefoot buddies swinging on a rope into the Owens River. With winter approaching, boys have stopped swinging out into Owens River’s chill waters. Though, the old tree still […]
Trinity County color spotter Jeri Rangel toured the backroads of her Shasta Cascade haunt, this past Halloween weekend, to find crabapples peaking, vineyards nearing peak and horses galloping past peaking cottonwood in spirited celebration. Bowerman Meadow, Coffee Creek and Swift Creek, all in Trinity County, continue to develop surprising color. Travel Hwy 3 north of Weaverville (Hwy 299) […]
