Your winter seems to be lingering a bit longer than ours LadyFi!!! Of course...we've been known to have snow on Memorial Day Weekend (the last weekend in May!)
You would love it NatureFootstep!!! It's a fascinating place...the oldest lake in North America!!!
Hiker...the quote was taken from a paragraph in one of the chapters in Roughing It...it goes on to say that on a summer day it can be 90 degrees in the morning, and snowing at night...which is true...I've been back packing up here when it was warm during the day and snowed later...it has been known to snow at least once each month of the year!!
I love summer up here Margaret!!! The locals often say "I came for the winters, but stayed for the summers!"
The best thing about that kind of weather, is that it doesn't happen here. I can get to it in about an hour and a half and that is just the way I like it.
I was beginning to doubt it PerthDp!!! With good reason! Two years ago it snowed on Memorial Day...that's May 31!!! And skiing was going strong on July 4th!!! I really prefer my winters a bit shorter than that!!!
Hurray! Lovely blue sky too.
ReplyDeletea place I would love to visit. :)
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't normally say such a thing, but... enjoy the breakup! :-) Beautiful shot of a beautiful place.

Twain definitely had a way with words.
ReplyDeleteI agree Oakland!!!
ReplyDeleteNow that's a relief, I think you were beginning to doubt it :) hope it lasts for a good while!
ReplyDeleteI'd never heard that expression before, but I imagine the end of winter is very dramatic in these dramatic landscapes.
ReplyDeleteThat is gorgeous country! I'm rather envious of that view! Beautiful photo!
