I thought I would get out and celebrate the rainfall with the camera today.   I've got a few spots near town that flow only when the rainfall is heavy.   Some of these watercourses run for only a few hours.

Very nice Lighthawk! We also took a look at our waterways this morning. So good to see high water. Will it continue? Rain still pounds on the roof tonight.

November 2008, a storm was breaking near Rhyolite right at sunset. We had to stop.

A couple of shots from last weekend at Donner Summit.  I bought an afternoon pass at Donner Ski Ranch and found untracked 3-6" powder with a few creative traverses and mini-climbs to return.   :D

 

It sure felt good to get out on the skis and make some turns, but I had left my DSLR in the truck and wanted to take some photos too.

Then the ski lift broke down:  :o

Serendipity!  I switched gears and put on my skins and took an afternoon ski tour of the Lake Angela / Donner Summit area between Hwy 40 and Hwy 80.  All these shots are with my 14mm wide angle.  I only had a fanny pack, so had to choose one smaller lens to shoot with.

 

I'm interested which you prefer, #1 or #2.

<side story:  I was driving home one winter evening and saw a white long-tailed weasel cross the road and dive into the building in the photo.  I'll always remember the blur of the beautiful long white body, zipping across the road.>

Quick trip to Moab for our maiden Voyage:  Really overcast the entire weekend, but gained some texture at sunset.
