Evanescent Spring Snow

,

Snow falls for a brief time in Lake Tahoe in May

The weekly photo challenge suggests sharing our fleeting moments, those memories that will soon disappear and pass out of sight.

“It’s a moment that I am after, a fleeting moment, but not a frozen moment!” Andrew Wyeth

When spring and summer descent upon Northern California, you know it! But when winter descends onto a perfectly sunny late spring day in Lake Tahoe, it is Evanescent!

Snow in May creates a fleeting moment.

 

May is National Water Safety MonthIn the U.S., Memorial Day weekend begins today and ushers in summer fun! This is my last plea to ask people to be safe in and around any bodies of water (even chilly Lake Tahoe–the snow is melting quickly)!

 

May is National Water Safety Month! Please wear a life-jacket!

  4. When I think spring snow, I tend to think of flower petals falling from the cherry trees.

    1. It was that close to being the case. Still some snow flurries in Tahoe over the weekend, but getting over 100 here in sacramento.

  5. Great shot, Terri, but… brrr! We have finally found spring and even a touch of summer, in Belgium, Holland and Hungary. Life is good! In two weeks, we will be back in the Bay area. Looking forward to living in California again. 🙂

    1. Thanks, Tina, and for all the shares! I bet on a clear day, you can still see the snow pack from where you are.

      1. Welcome, Terri. I’m at too low and altitude to see the snow pack. Would have to climb a bit 🙂 ❤

  16. Lovely post, Terri. We have lots of drowning threats in South Africa in the summer with all the braais around swimming pools.
