Yes, there is still a lot of snow in the high country of Northern California. That large flat spot behind the snow people is actually an ice/snow covered lake.
Ja, im Hochland Nordkaliforniens liegt immer noch viel Schnee. Die große flache Stelle hinter den Schneemenschen ist eigentlich ein eisbedeckter See.
The waterfalls in Yosemite are currently spectacular. I photographed Bridalveil Fall in the late afternoon with the rainbow! Enjoy!

Am 4.6.2023 war bei uns Vollmond. Zu sehen gab es einen seltenen Erdbeermond. Der Vollmond im Juni wird, wohl je nach Färbung, als Honig-, Rosen-, oder Erdbeermond bezeichnet. Wußte ich vorher auch nicht. Auf jeden Fall habe ich mich spontan nachts um Zwei auf den Balkon gestellt und den Mond fotografiert. Tja, so sieht er halt aus, der Erdbeermond.
On 4.6.2023 was full moon with us. To see there was a rare strawberry moon. The full moon in June is called, probably depending on coloring, as honey, rose, or strawberry moon. I did not know before. In any case I have placed myself spontaneously at night at two on the balcony and have photographed the moon. Well, so he looks just, the strawberry moon.
Derzeit sind sie wieder unterwegs: Kleinlibellen wie diese Becherjungfern.
They are currently on the move again: damselflies like these common blue damselflies.
The town of Ponferrada in Spain was the center of a mining area. A narrow gauge railway was built to bring coal from the mines to the power stations. Steam engines were used on this line until far into the 1980 ies. The line was closed in the 1990 ies. While one of the power stations was converted into an excellent museum called “fabrica de la luz” (factory of light) and some of the railway material is displayed in a rather sterile railway museum, most of the engines ended up dumped on a siding and are slowly recovered by nature.
How this all looked like in 1980 can be seen here:

On a drive up on the mountains between Montana and Wyoming – 10947 ft above sea level, I found this root at Long Lake on Beartooth Highway.
I was going up toward Bass Lake not too long ago and took this image while sitting passenger in the car, enjoying the views. It’s pretty wild how there’s still quite a dense snowpack in the Sierras right now!
Cruising through North Dakota, Montana, and Wyoming, here are some impressions of alive, beauty, and still standing.

Albeit having lost live, leaves, and grounding soil, the tree is still standing
the McCloud River is flowing high and fast due to the warm temperatures and lots of snow melt.
