Happiness In The Sierra

This location has become one of my favorite spots to camp with just one trip. It's not so easy to get to (11,000' pass) and requires a permit that has limited availability.

Dear Plant Physiology & Forest Ecology Friends,

Is this image a good illustration of #phototropism? This is Pinus ponderosa, seen here in a grove of other pines and hemlocks in the #California #SierraMountains. Not sure if there may have been an intervening event causing the lean and subsequent release towards the sky. Thanks in advancefor the #help.

Dear Friends,
There was #snow last night across the northern #SierraMountains of California at about 6,000 feet (1,800 meters) last evening for the first time in a while. Look in one direction at the #UrbanWildlandInterface and the view is #idyllic and #serene. Turn around and look in the other direction, the view is a somewhat #different.

Fall in Yosemite National Park

Sometimes you can get lucky with planning travel months in advance and hit the park when the beauty of Nature shines.
