Another patch of snow. Avalanche lilies pushing their way through the edge of the receding drifts. Melting their way, rather, for growing plants generate heat. Here one in full bloom through three inches of snow. A small pond still covered with snow.
Frogs think it is winter and sleep beneath the snow.
Mountain ash not yet in leaf, berries are turning red at lower elevations. The season is two months later here. A bear went over the mountain. He passed this way not long ago. His tracks are fresh in the snow.
