Today's walk report: Blizzard Vindication

 Today I got the pictures I was hoping for yesterday, a lot of them. Jeez... you'd think I'd never seen snow before.

The shots of lower elevation mountains, those are the Santa Susana Mountains with the towns of Chatsworth and Porter Ranch in the foreground (for the most part). They top out with an elevation of 3,747 ft (1,142 m). To the east are the San Gabriel Mountains. The highest elevation there is, Mount San Antonio (Mount Baldy) at 10,069 feet (3,069 m). Here are the pictures...

 A couple more shots of the San Gabriel Mountains.

 I stopped by the botanical garden to visit the Male Calypte anna hummingbird known as Dusty but he was hanging up high and a little out of picture taking range. This yellow-rumped warbler let me take a few shots (into the sun) before she took off. How do I know it's a she? Well, it's kind of a big duh, looks like she's packing at least a couple of eggs. Clutch Size: 1-6 eggs.

Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there...
