Close-up of a white bear clover flower with five slightly uneven petals and a bright yellow center, surrounded by dense fern-like green leaves. The background is softly blurred with more green foliage.
Small yellow star tulip blooming low to the ground among dry pine needles, twigs, and leaves. The flower has six pointed petals and sits beside a long green blade of grass on the forest floor.
Went through the Empire Mine trails again today and spotted two familiar spring visitors from last year: bear clover and a yellow star tulip. Always nice seeing these foothill blooms return. #EmpireMine #SierraFoothills #Wildflowers #SpringInCalifornia #NatureWalk

#Mosstodon photobombed by #BloomScrolling. #SierraFoothills
Photo of some very sad looking daffodils, with the flower stalks bent over and the flowers pasted to the ground. In the close background a rapidly melting drift of heavy wet snow is visible, the remains of the cause of this floristic disaster.
Me too daffodils, me too. #BloomScrolling #SierraFoothills #CrushedByEventsBeyondOnesControl
You know, if #PGE Contractors actually did their job removing dangerous vegetation, instead of hiding on my property committing fraud, half the #SierraFoothills wouldn't be freezing without power for over 24 hours.
We've been on generator for almost 30 hours. And they never pay for the propane.

Mt Lion with some battle scars. I was on the trail two hours earlier with Francis the dog and the camera is about 100 feet from where I've been working on brush clearing.
