Joe ✅First snow of the season on Mt. Tom. #sierranevada #mttom #mustangmesa #owensvalley #bishop #bishopcalifornia
Opuntia basilarus, or Beaver tail cactus- both beautiful and rare to see with multiple blooms. I saw this one at my usual turnaround point above Pleasant Valley reservoir, while walking Yoshi this evening. #opuntiabasilaris #beavertailcactus #pricklypearcactus #mustangmesa #springflowers #californiaflowers
I was out walking the dog as usual this afternoon, and saw the bald eagle that lives out in Round Valley, doing some fishing in Pleasant Valley Reservoir. #owensvalley #california #bishopcalifornia #mustangmesa #baldeagle #pleasantvalleyreservoir
Horton Creek drainage, black and white mood. Took this last night while out walking the dog… #sierranevada #mustangmesa #owensvalley #californa #bishopcalifornia
Coulter’s lupine is blooming all over the Mesa right now. #coulterslupine #mojavelupine #owensvalley #sierranevada #bishopcalifornia #mustangmesa

I can see my house from here! (Yes, really. That’s Mustang Mesa between Mt. Tom and the Owens River gorge in the foreground). It’s so great to be able to fly into Bishop without having to drive to Reno, Los Angeles or Las Vegas for a flight. I woke up in Kyoto, flew nine hours, and arrived in Bishop before we started! Crossing the int’l date line is weird. #mustangmesa #sierranevada #sfotobishop #japan #california #kyoto #bishop
Some of the erosion from the latest atmospheric river storm. This used to be a flat dirt road from the valley floor to the top of Mustang Mesa (just south of the petroglyph rock, for those who are familiar with the area). #mustangmesa #erosion #atmospheric_river #californa #californiastormdamage #owensvalley #sierranevada
