Rock Garden
The beginning of the volcanic tableland. Loved seeing these rocks against the sun light busting through some cloud layers. Background is the Sierra escarpment.

The Tablelands
The Owens River leaks through the willows and grasslands. Saw some fly fishermen working their spots along Chalk Bluff Road. This one of my fave shots btw...colors, shapes and background please my eye. Telephoto shot to compress the elements.

A Long Way Home
Loved seeing this sign when I pulled off 395 in Bishop Ca. Drove the mid-Cape Highway many times in my youth, but didn't know the 6 was a cross country route. This is where it starts, and Ptown is the end of line, for some the end of the world, on the Atlantic side anyway...That is a fresh dump of evening snow on the White Mountain peaks.

The Chutes
A post card shot that I could not resist in full morning light, pulled over on the exit ramp. McGee Canyon my morning destination.Love the avalanche chutes, the bowls...look for thin trails from sliding stones. Just a light dusting of Sierra snow here.

Crowley Lake
From the road leading up to McKee Canyon, but looking east into the White Mountains and home of the ancient ones, the Bristlecone Pines.

Break Time
Past the chutes and bowls and looking into the glacial carved McGee Canyon, glowing with aspen. Used my binocs for a while and looked for big horn sheep...no luck.

Alpine Colors
Some alpine scenery and a sweet mix of colors along the slopes, but the hike forward is over and time to exit and retrace my steps. Still no big horns.

Tufa Columns
These columns are along the south side of Mono. The tallest spire is about 12 feet and must have been many years the making. The Sierra Nevada high country in the background.

Mono Basin
Looking south east across the basin. Had to stall on the way back to parking lot and find a spot for the tripod. Enjoyed watching the last light linger on these old hills. Loved the clouds balancing out this shot. That is an old tufa column jutting out of the foreground. The lake must have filled the basin years ago.
