Remnants of Winter

Almost June, and the mountains still have a little snow...

Are we sure summer is just around the corner?

What trees are those? I like their little pointy spires directing us to the sky.; May 26, 2010 at 6:22 AM

Bellis said...: Ooooh, lovely photo - it could be northern Italy, perhaps around Lake Como, with the Alps in the background. Where were you standing?; May 26, 2010 at 7:07 AM

Mammoth still has 7-12 feet of snow following one of their heaviest snowfalls ever. The slopes will be open until
July 4. I don't remember having so much snow on our mountains this late in the season.

Nice photo.; May 26, 2010 at 7:43 AM

Pasadena Adjacent said...: I was up in the high country Sunday. Stopped the car and witnessed three snowflakes the size of a grain of salt. I haven't seen snow actually fall in twenty years.; May 26, 2010 at 11:13 AM

a photography question...
are 35mm cameras basically unusable due to the need of film processing? is it possible to transfer 35mm shots into digital.. or is it really cost prohibited? I have old Nikon's my daughter wants to use for a SPHS photo class but I didn't know if it was a good idea. thanks; May 26, 2010 at 5:44 PM
TheChieftess said...: Anonymous...you can still process film, though it's getting harder and harder to find...once processed, if you want to digitize, you can either have a cd made when processing, which increases the price, or scan the photo, if you have access to a photo scanner...I'd check with SPHS about what they're recommending for the class...they may be teaching photoshop/computer processing along with basic photography...you'll want to ask about whether they are ok with a point and shoot or a camera with control over the aperture, shutter, etc...; May 26, 2010 at 6:19 PM
Virginia said...: Judy and i are on the same.....something or other. I've been in flip flops forever too. Now on my 3 mile walk, I'm sweatin' with the oldies. Lord have mercy the humidity is killing me.

PS Sorry LA, Love this photo although those pointy things are disconcerting.; May 26, 2010 at 8:15 PM
