If you were in the east I’d think the pink trees might be spring redbuds but out west I haven’t a clue. Pretty sure your creepy cocoons are Tent Caterpillars. They used to work havoc on my fruit trees. Beautiful blue mountains remind me of the Blue Ridge of Virginia. I think my favorite line is “we don’t see anyone all day”.
