Snoqualmie Pass crosses the Cascade Mountains on I-90 in the state of Washington. It is a popular ski resort with trailheads and opportunities for cross-country skiing, hiking and snowboarding. The trees disappeared up into the clouds on this day in late December.

Favorite Images From 2010–Flooded Orchard
This small orchard near Watsonville was inundated from heavy winter rains. The little tree seemed sad surrounded by so much water. I liked the reflections of the clouds and the other trees. Five bracketed exposures blended together.

Aspen Leaves and Snow
This is one of my favorite shots. I very much like the blending of the two seasons. It was taken near Hope Valley, California, after the first snow of the season in October 2006.

This fresh snow was the first of the year in Hope Valley, south of Lake Tahoe on Highway 88 in California. The aspen continue to glow as Fall gives way to Winter.

Lundy Lake is in Lundy Canyon, seven miles north of Lee Vining on Highway 395 in eastern California. It is the site of an old gold mining town, Lundy. The canyon is spectacular in October as the aspen change color.
