Natural History Wanderings

Hi Sandy, I’d be amazed if anyone besides me is interested, but it seems California’s early color trend this year is also occurring in Nevada. The attached photo is from Sunday 9/15, in the Arc Dome Wilderness in the Toiyabe Range. This grove is at about 9,000-10,000 feet, well along but with a ways to go still. Aspens lower down in the drainage hadn’t started yet. I could also see visible color on my drive on the east side of California’s White Mountains, and a patch on Mt. Jefferson in Nevada’s Toquima Range.

Thanks for all your updates, your work is appreciated!
