It was June 12th, 2005. I was hiking on Eagan Range in eastern Nevada. The day was sunny with a few white-yellowish cloudlets in the blue sky. That was a time when the snow rapidly thaws. In fact, the southern slopes were snowless already, but northern side was still covered with snow. At some shadowy places the thickness of snow was up to 5 ft. However, even northern slope has a big snowless spots. I was lucky to find a nice snag protruding just above the snow cover. I delighted in beautiful shape and texture. The color also was lovely. Moreover, the sun lighted snow made a beautiful contrasting background. It was nothing but a natural piece of abstract art. I hope you will enjoy the picture. Thanks for stopping by. :)
