Taken in a brief break in the rain/hail at lower elevations as two feet of spring storm snow dropped in the mountains. There's a submerged nurse stump which these are growing out of. #photography #landscapephotography #naturephotography #spring

From my hike last month in the White Mountains, NH. I was halfway up to the summit and the bright overhead sun was casting beautiful shadows. Much of this snow has since melted as we approach spring. #FootpathFriday #hiking #mountains #nature #photography #landscape #NaturePhotography #LandscapePhotography #snow
