“Raven In The Snow” Mt. Lemmon, December 15, 2011 — Images by kenne
After 27″ of snow on Mt. Lemmon, I drove up Catalina Highway to “capture the moment.” The mountain’s large trees were covered with snow, which gave the area a “winter wonderland” look. After leaving the car at one pull-off, I could hear a nosy raven high on a snow-covered pine. At first, I ignored him, having other images in mind. As I focused on various possible moments to capture, he kept telling me he was the moment. So, I started walking toward him, figuring he would just fly away. As my interested in him increased, I began to realize he was more interested in me than I in him — just love these birds!
On this beautiful snow-covered day, he had become my “Mt. Lemmon Greeter.”
