Mammoth Lakes Haiku's

One of my offspring is on vacation and sent me this picture of the mountains near Mammoth Lakes which is located in Central California.

Someone once told me that they had heard it never snows in California. Maybe they were thinking of the song about how it never rains in California. Which for the past 8 years that song has been played and played on our local radio stations due to our drought.

But this year we have had lots of rain. Thank you God for El Nino!!! But we have probably had even more snow. So when you look at this picture, you might just see snow, but you know what I see, I see water. Lots and lots of soon to be water, to fill our lakes and reservoirs. Although for now, offspring sees lots of opportunities to go snowboarding. I would see a broken leg if I was there, but then again that is just me.
Sometimes it is hard to believe there are still such beautiful places in California that are not filled with houses. Thank goodness for winter sports!!!

Here are some more Haiku's.....

Mountains filled up,
Snow, cold, fever to play now,
Over, under, oops.

White, water, quickly,
Wondrous adventure high up,
Winter outdoors, ouch!

Trees falling over,
Sliding suddenly, loudly,
Snow time, move. Now.

Beautiful around,
Winter contrasts, white, green, brown,
Nature sees, do you?

Life, hidden in snow,
Singing, seeds, footsteps out there,
Large ones, growling, run.

Enjoyment, mugs, cups,
Hot, chocolate, tea, soup, pie,
Winter goodies, eat.

Travel, home, missing,
Come back, winter calls, cold air,
Packing, hurry, love.
