The first two pictures were taken at 7:30am before the cloud bank had backed off so the mountains are not visible.

The second two pictures were taken from my covered patio a few minutes later. No way could I walk on the snow-covered redwood deck and remain upright. :) The sun melted all the snow in about 2 hours.
When you enlarge the last picture, there is an astonishing thing in it that I did not know was there when I took the picture. I have a hummingbird feeder hanging under the patio and the camera caught one of the gorgeous little darlings waiting in the tree for me to move - or, it looks like he might have been in flight.
