Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #1754 – April 11, 2023, 09:19:28 pm Art’s photographs inspired us to make the pilgrimage to Figueroa Mountain today. For those in the vicinity, USFS has reopened Happy Canyon Rd so it is once again possible to drive the Fig Mtn - Happy Cnyn route. Here are a few of our photos of the Super Bloom. Warren 10 Likes
Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #1755 – April 12, 2023, 09:14:14 pm Continuing on with the wildflower theme, a few taken today in our neck of the woods. Some were taken on Hwy. 223 near the Bakersfield National Cemetery, and others were taken on Woodford-Tehachapi Rd. near the Tehachapi Loop. Many of our local mountains are still snow covered so this is just the beginning of our season. 4 Likes
Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #1756 – April 13, 2023, 01:18:12 pm Heading South to Morro Bay last year and noticing spring increasing, I started wondering how fast it was moving forward. I found a few sites listing 13, 16, and 17 miles/day. 23 degrees between the equator and tropic of Capricorn at 69 miles per degree Latitude and 90 days from equinox to solstice (23*69)/90 =1587/90 = 17.333..... miles per day.I seem to recall information on Life Zones going back 50 years that something like 250 ft in elevation was approximately equivalent to 1 degree of latitude. So it would seem that, for a given location, spring would be rising (250 * 23)/90 = 5,750/90 = 63.8 feet per day.I remember a trip on I-40 watching the ocotillo go from full bloom at Needles to barely budding spring at Kingman.Happy Spring everyone. 6 Likes
Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #1757 – April 14, 2023, 03:27:35 pm On the internet I just came across a recent winter photo of a waterfall in British Columbia and it looked familiar. Upon checking it is Helmcken Falls in Wells Gray Provincial Park north of Clearwater, BC. This is the largest provincial park in Canada and is spectacular. We visited there in the summer of 2016 while we were on route to Alaska. We stayed in the Fall Creek campground at the south end of Clearwater Lake. A short river connects Clearwater Lake with Azure Lake that are situated among some old volcano peaks. We took a day boat trip on these two beautiful lakes seeing several waterfalls along the way. We did stop and see Helmcken Falls on the way out of the park and it was truly spectacular. The winter scene is even more so. Our photo was taken in the summer. 8 Likes
Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #1758 – April 14, 2023, 05:33:08 pm Amazing photo, Mike! Have you encountered "Ice Climbing"? There's actually a sport by that name. I first learned about it in Canada.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAeyfA9MQlE 1 Likes
Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #1759 – April 15, 2023, 10:25:07 am Steve, the only time we witnessed frozen waterfall ice climbing was when we attended the Quebec City winter carnival in February 2000. We flew there instead of traveling by RV. On day we hired a taxi tour driver to explore NE to Sainte Anne de Beaupre. Just outside Quebec City we stopped to see the frozen waterfall of the Montmorency River (photo). There were several ice climbers crawling up the ice. We were some distance away on an overlook and the black spots in the river basin are people. That trip was a great adventure. 2 Likes
Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #1760 – April 16, 2023, 06:43:26 pm As part of our Lazy Daze adventure to the Grand Canyon last week, my daughter and I took time to venture forth to and from the Grand Canyon on the Grand Canyon Railway. We enjoyed the Mary Colter Dome View to the Canyon unencumbered by any drama just the wonderful sites of the train as it wound its way to the Canyon. However our return trip to Williams while traveling in the rear Max Biegert car, our journey was interrupted by some rather colorful characters who decided to board the train and hold up its passengers. Thank goodness the Marshal was quick to round the gang up and escort them to jail. What a crazy adventure.Kent 3 Likes
