Spring Evening, Central Valley. Near Jackson, California. April 4, 2007. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell.

Believe it or not, this photograph is connected to the Death Valley photos I have been posting recently. Last April I returned from Death Valley by driving up the east side of the Sierra before crossing the crest at Carson Pass to descend to the Central Valley. This photograph was taken as I stopped in the newly green hills west of Jackson and looked back toward the Sierra in the Lake Tahoe region.
