Photo Of The Week: 01.22.10

The wild flowers near its summit make Dog Mountain highly sought after in the spring months, and thus crowded, but while hiking the other day we encountered only three climbers. During the winter season it is a lot quieter and allows one time to reflect on the scenery, even if it isn’t as vibrant, and there is a lot of mood in the surrounding skies. In these photos my old friend Jaron Griffin studies the green moss covered oak and douglas fir trees.
