Who else saw the aurora borealis last night? The sky glowed red at my latitude. The geomagnetic storm was so strong that the northern lights were seen as far south as New Mexico, Alabama, and Georgia.

One of my favorite things to see when I'm out hiking in winter are cottonwood branches against a vividly blue mountain sky.

The wind gusted over the valley, and all these magpies lined up in the same direction in a tree, their tails like flags denoting the direction of the gust.

I was delighted to spot some brown-eye wolf lichen (Letharia columbiana) growing on a tree in the High Sierra. Took some pics with my awesome little macro camera!

Gorgeous views in the Stanislaus National Forest in the Sierra Nevada Mountains!
Hiked around the stunning geologic site Columns of the Giants, formed 15,000 years ago when a lava flow cooled and cracked. As pieces break off over the centuries, a talus slope has formed at the base, and these rocks shelter remnants of ice from the Little Ice Age.
