The Ponderosa Pine In Snow

The winter aspens have a life of their own when snowed upon, but so do the Ponderosa Pines with their distinctive orangish/brown bark. They don’t lose their leaves during winter because they done’t have leaves but pine needles.. These were taken at The Kaibab National Forest in Northern Arizona this past week.

Fresh snow has fallen in a Ponderosa Pine Tree forest at Kaibab National Forest, Arizona.

 

 

 

Maybe I’m Amazed

At the aerial video view of the fresh snow at the Kaibab National Forest in Northern Arizona. The Kaibab is adjacent to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. This access closed Sunday for the winter season so I was happy to get over there this past week. Watch in HiDef at Full Screen.

 

More Still Shots From Snowy Kaibab

Snow is very ephemeral here in the Southwest so you better get out and capture it or the snow will be gone by noon. Even though I had a 2 hour drive to get to the Kaibab National Forest, the temperatures were still in the mid 20s when I arrived around 9 a.m. I believe I had the whole place to myself except for the 2 snowplows.

The Ravens do not practice the LEAVE NO TRACE doctrine.

 

Unfortunately this part of the forest was scarred by fire a few years ago.

 

Winter Aspens Have A life Of Their Own

Ask the Coyote in the first image. When leaveless, the Aspen shows off its trunk and branches in a surreal and abstract way. Three inches of fresh snow helped to add to the lines of the trees. These were taken on Wednesday at the Kaibab National Forest adjacent to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon.
