Leaving work yesterday

I took this when I left work yesterday, 1/7/09. It's Shasta Dam with snow-covered Mt. Shasta in the background. We get very little snow here but, if we want it, we can drive to it.

Great shot .... got more?

Not any really good ones taken recently granny. I did take one of some deer on the lawn yesterday and I have an older pic taken below the dam. The one taken below the dam shows a Osprey nest on the top of the pole on the left side of the pic.
This website has a virtual tour of this area. Enjoy the tour granny and bring Hunter.

Nice pic's, that's the way I like it, 'drive up there, play in the snow, drive back'.
When I lived in San Bernadino area, we did the same thing.

Fossis..............

Love them I cked out some of the virtul tour I'll do more later, I've never seen an osprey nest let alone a nest like that or that big on a pole! Keep sharing.

This is a young Osprey that was hatched here in 2007. We have many Osprey, Bald Eagles and Golden Eagles around here.
Fossis, you must be talking about Big Bear and the San Gabriels. I've been there many times.
