Took this before this weekends storms.  It was foggy.  But a Southern California snowstorm.

Flowers are beginning to bloom. And others like the white ones above already dying off.

Damn! You would think 18 and 21 year olds could fight hard enough to prevent death but this is a sad story.

Did a weekend Arizona trip.  Some moon shots.

 

 

Kind of looked like Jupiter through the clouds.

 

 

Higher up in the sky after the red tint wore off.

 

Next day in Palm Springs as the moon was rising just past the horizon.

@Jason I thought you’d like this.  I was feeling the itch after NZ and googled closest fly fishing to LA and I ended up at the Kern River today.

I got a guide for a half day and caught 5 rainbows.  It was a great day of fishing.

That’s fantastic! Nice fish too. I’m surprised the river wasn’t moving too quick with the recent storm. I haven’t done so yet but hiring a guide to take you out onto Lake Crowley looks to be fun. That lake produces some huge fish.

This guide I used does Lake Crowley trips in the summer.  I’d recommend him.  Easy going but knows his shit.

Looks like the air is lighter in Kern county.

What section of the Kern were you in and what guide service did you use?

Climber falls 1,200 feet to his death in Mount St. Helens crater

https://www.yahoo.com/news/climber-falls-1-200-feet-141953496.html

An experienced climber was found dead on Saturday inside the crater of Mount St. Helens, a volcano in Washington state that draws hikers, skiers and snowboarders year-round. Officials say he was attempting to snowboard and died after falling roughly 1,200 feet from the summit, where an icy ridge had cracked off near the rim beneath his feet.

Starting up the big peaks.  First up, Strawberry Peak.  Great weather.  Met up with a few hikers, and we are planning on hitting more peaks.

Forgot to add.  Saw these two hispanic dudes on the trail.  All tatted up, but friendly enough like everyone else.  One of them had a ankle gps bracelet on and was wearing a Doggy cap.
