"A Stream Runs Under It"

 

As I was walking along this path today I spotted this little Ravine that I had to jump down into to take this shot. Pretty much a head first splat into the snowy carpet below. The sun was allowing for lots of interesting shadows to be cast on the snow today. Wishing my skills were better but enjoying totally the solitude and scenery at every step.

"Gallow's Cove"

 
Or there abouts. This picture is colder looking than the tempeature of the day. As I look to the south east I am reminded that soon we'll be on these very waters.

"Soaking Sun"

 
Nice sunny day for a hike in the snow. This little more than a sapling seems to be doing fine in the rigors of our weather. The little squirt to his left did not fair so well. Such is survival of the fittest. Such are the blue skies and floating clouds, brisk cool winds and whisping snow drifts, slippery slopes and pleasant snow walks in fields lain barren in winter slumber.
