Shrinkage on Mount Baldy

So we go from a happy birthday post for my grandmother to something as wacky as this post.

Photo: Stream Waterfall, Mount Baldy, California

There was a bunch of new snow on the local mountains today and a rare day of clean air so I continued on my quest to find a good scenic viewpoint to photograph Mount Baldy. I think I have found the location today but wasn't able to scramble up there to get to it because I noticed the spot after the sun had already gone down. But being out there today reminded me of a couple weeks ago when I went for a little trail walk near the Mt. Baldy Ski Village. It was about 40 degrees that day but no snow and little water in the creek but apparently enough for one guy to be skinny dipping in the creek! His girlfriend was fully clothed (unfortunately) and laughing at him. Thankfully for my eyesight he was covering his package with his hands as I walked by. I probably wouldn't have noticed them if it weren't for his girlfriend's loud screaming so I guess they weren't expecting to see other people up there on a weekday afternoon. Crazy.

This waterfall photo was taken not too far upstream from Mr. 40 Degree Skinny Dipper.
