On rare occasions, snow dustings occur at low elevations in Northern California. I took this photo just as an extremely cold, powerful winter storm was clearing out of the area. The same storm produced snow down to 1000' in the San Francisco Bay Area, and several feet of snow that closed roads for days in the Lake Tahoe region. It was a very special opportunity to photograph a fleeting winter scene in an area that isn't known for it. I seized the opportunity and went for a drive, just following my instinct until I saw the snowy hills, and drove up into them. After photographing some snow-covered oak trees in the stormy cloak of winter, then hiking up a mountain the following morning to catch the clearing storm back home in Marin County, I came back up here the next evening to watch the storm clear. This is the scene I was greeted with. This is not a commonly photographed area, especially considering how beautiful it is!
