Memorial Weekend looks like it's going to be a very nice and warm weekend! There are still openings for tours this weekend. This is what Mt. Shasta loves to do...make Lenticular Clouds! Lenticular clouds are stationary clouds that form mostly in the troposphere, typically in parallel alignment to the wind direction. They are often comparable in appearance to a lens or saucer. These are my favorite of the orchids! I stumbled upon these somewhere in the Mt. Shasta area. There are many wildflowers started to bloom. A guided tour is a great way to learn more With all the snowmelt, the creeks and streams are in looking good! These berries are part of the Greenleaf Manzanita Bushes that grow in this area. The berries are a good sign that bear activity is active...they love them! Yep...this guy was posing for me.
The turkey vulture, also known in some North American regions as the turkey buzzard, and in some areas of the Caribbean as the John crow or carrion crow, is the most widespread of the New World vultures. |
