We had some heavy snow just a couple of weeks ago here in the Sierra Nevada Foothills. Last Monday, we got even more though it didn't stick. And now, with May just around the corner, we're hearing talks of more snow from a storm coming in on Tuesday!

As much as I enjoy snow and all the exciting photographic opportunities that come along with it, like these Valley Oak branches in a grove about a half mile from my house, I'm ready for Spring. Dogwood, Lupine, Corn Lilies, Ferns, rushing rivers, vernal pools, and on and on. Let's have it already!
