Saturday scenes and scenery: Crater Lake, Oregon

Just a few shots from the snowy National Park taken last month. If the small slide show doesn't work, try this.

Today I had expected to be in Yosemite National Park at Tuolumne Meadows, but the residue of the season's long winter intervened. The leach fields around the tent cabins where we stay are still so saturated from by snow melt run off, that the area remains closed.

It could be worse. One of these days a heavy Sierra snow pack is going to melt quickly in the spring and inundate Sacramento.
