Beating the Storm

[MonikaC]

We seem to be in monsoon season already - a full month early. Seems like our roads had just recovered from the late Spring snows only to get washed out in the hard rains. I went for an altitude training hike, but got stopped at 10,700' by the snow and made it back to the trailhead about 20' ahead of the rain.
This is looking out over Lake Dillon (usually not a photogenic body of water) from the bottom part of the trail.

Looks quite nice in this capture - the storms behind make the shot. Sounds like some distinctly different weather patterns for your area.

Love the depth in this, and the falling rain is a very cool bonus.

This is very cool Monika! You may have gotten rained out of your training, but you came away with a great photo.

The weather is sure weird. It's supposed to snow again up in the Rockies this weekend for you guys. I am just hoping the snow let's up enough that we will get wildflowers up there.

Thanks, guys!
The weather patterns are different, the bears are out early...... Cool & wet weather through the weekend (at least).

This lake looks pretty photogenic to me, nice one.

This lake looks pretty photogenic to me, nice one.

Later in the year, the water level is low, so there's lots of ugly mud on the sides. It's actually a reservoir. In the winter, people drive their ATVs out there & do donuts.

Nice image, Monika. I am familiar with this area and this looks much better than I remember ever seeing it.

We've had so much rain this Spring that pretty much everywhere looks great.....
