Then at about 3:00 it started. And it snow all night long. Which means waking up early, to go out with the camera.

I think my dismay at the snow (I want to ride my bike!) is somewhat reflected in the (albeit rather gloomy) mood of the photos.

I loved how the reeds and grasses were poking up in different places through the ice.

It was pretty desolate out there, and add that emptiness to the nasty air quality we have currently in Utah, and it looked pretty bleak all the way to Timp.

Vertigo

This is a Self Portrait of my shadow and crack in the ice. Yea, hearing the ice crack beneath your feet is a little unsettling.
Gets the blood pumping for sure! Maybe skis or snowshoes next time would be a good idea.

Saw this very cool old abandoned house on my way back home – would be fun to go back there and explore some more.

Crazy weather rolled in this afternoon and the trees in our backyard became home to swarms of birds. I ran out on my deck and I felt like I was in a winter time version of Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds.
