Someone took a trip up to Mineral King. It wasn’t me. I was working on The Cabins of Wilsonia. My camera had a nice time. There isn’t much snow. It might be a good idea to pray for a March Miracle in the precipitation department.
What Is This?
Fridays are still for Mineral King, when I have Mineral King information for you. Do you remember reading on my blog back in September when I told you that Trail Guy had a great idea? You can refresh your memory here. Go ahead. I’ll be waiting for you to return. Thanks for coming back! Here […]
Somebody Went to Mineral King
But it wasn’t me because I was drawing The Cabins of Wilsonia. (I know not to begin a sentence with the word “but”. Thanks for your concern about my writing skills.) And the weird spot on my camera is not there this time!! (Sometimes things do fix themselves, contrary to what my auto mechanic says.) I think […]
Random Thoughts on a Friday
1. Nothing to report about Mineral King. You can look at the webcam. I’m drawing in the studio, and Trail Guy is probably skiing. I think he should be renamed “Ski Guy” this winter. 2. I used to have a Blog Roll, which is a list of blogs I read. I don’t think any […]
Fridays are for Mineral King
. . . except the snow was too deep and we didn’t get there! We unloaded the Trackster around mile 12, about 2 miles below Trauger’s. I think that is where we were. It looks so very different under snow! The Trackster leaves tracks in the snow. Wow, there was so much snow! (There was […]
Peculiar Sight in Mineral King
Trail Guy is not a peculiar sight in Mineral King. He is puzzling over a peculiar sight in this photo. Words fail me.
Thanksgiving in Mineral King
Yup. We had cheese and crackers and apple and dark chocolate for Thanksgiving dinner. This was our view: Is there snow in Mineral King? Some in the shade and on the north facing slopes. P.S. Michael smoked a turkey the next day. We had leftovers of almost all the good stuff except pumpkin pie. Feel […]
Mineral King in Fall, Part 5
Being Thankful for Fall in Mineral King These leaves have been blown or rained or snowed off the trees for several weeks by now but I’m still coasting on the beauty from that weekend in mid October. This is the Mineral King Road with its leaning juniper. The yellow is cottonwood leaves. These are aspens […]
Mineral King in Fall, Part 4
I wonder if I can keep going into December with this? Don’t tempt me – I might have to change my blog description from a California Artist to an Autumnal Photographer. Mineral King Multi-colored Slope (Do you know where this is?) Farewell Gap with Yellow Foreground (my titles are wearing out!) Red Firs and Yellow […]
Mineral King in Fall, Part 3
Since I took 273 photos of that weekend of Fall Color in Mineral King, I can keep going with this series for awhile. Tell me if you are sick of it! (or I can look at the visitation numbers to the blog and figure it out – I’m clever like that.) Nature Trail Gold Farewell […]
