Yeap, it’s May 23 and it’s snowin here in the Sierra. It seems every year just when the daffodils boom, it snows. Doesn’t really help their growing effort but I do love the oxymoron the photo opp provides.
Whenever there’s fresh snow, I think photography. Tracks in the snow, patterns of the shrubs and trees trying to find air, critters scratching out a living, there always seems to be something for the camera.

This morning when I went out, I instantly look at the daffodil bed and thought photo opp. Then panic set in as the dogs headed straight for it. The whole mountain heard me yell stop!
Thankfully they left me a couple of buds with snow on them. The play of the color, white and yellow and the pattern of the snow outlining the blossoms just sucked me in. Anyone who happened to drive by just saw my butt sticking up in the air, not the most scenic way to start the day, but I was having fun!
