What is Grand? My first thought was of grand opera, but I’ve got to agree with the WordPress folks. There’s nothing that beats Mother Nature for being truly big and dramatic. I love this planet! I’m betting that there are going to be a lot of stunning photos posted. As my second post of the morning, this one will be brief. We’re gearing up for some wintry snowfall here in Wisconsin, but I gotta tell ya, it’s not going to be nearly as grand as what they get in California. Here’s a shot I took in the month of April at Lassen Volcanic National Park. Gives new meaning to the line from the carol “Snow had fallen, snow on snow….in the bleak midwinter long ago.”

Wow that is a lot of snow! Great photo!
And maybe you thought California was all about sunshine on the beach?! So diverse…
oh i love this.. subdued and stunning.
Thanks for stopping by on a snowy road and commenting!
Now that’s a lot of snow–it’s been years since we had that accumulation. Mother Nature is grand indeed.
There are 4 types of volcanoes in the park as well. Hopefully, I’ll get back there to hike on them during a warmer season!
Beautiful!!
