 Hi Photographer friends,

Here's more Big Bear Lake, California, images of the Snow Storm. In the end, at my house we got three feet of snow. On the north side of the lake, they got up to four feet of snow. I'm from Montreal, Canada, and I was raised in a snowy place but I never experienced four feet of snow. That is because we are above 7,000 ft. elevation.

The good thing is that the temperature is going up to the 40's during the next two weeks, so most of it will melt. That's the big difference between Montreal and Big Bear Lake. The snow doesn't say for six Months. If you want to go to the Beach or the Desert, it's only a few hours away.

All photos taken with the Pentax K-3 and various lenses. I used Lightroom to fix the clarity and shadows. 








Now, for you Pentax owners, I do have e-books for most of the Pentax DSLRs. You can check this site ebooks4cameras.com and even download any e-book for checking the contents.

Big Bear Lake, California, we got slammed with 24 inches, or more, of that white stuff.

 Hi Photographer friends,

Just a few days ago, I was writing about why I preferred California over my hometown of Montreal, in the winter. I guess the Snow Authorities read my post and decided to dump more than 24 inches of snow here, in the Big Bear area. The good thing is that it won't last for six Months or more. It might all be gone next week. California really needs the rain and snow runoff to replenish the ground water.

There is a lot of tranquility here on the mountain, and it is spectacular when covered with a thick white blanket. There is something about mountains with pine trees and  snow.

I took all the images with my trusty Pentax K-3. I love that camera.
