Late Snow

The snow this last week had some interesting crystal formations. The beauty and intrigue of nature.

Snow Day

It's been a pretty snowy week around here. We don't usually get much snow here on the Willamette Valley floor, so when we do, we get excited!

Waiting for Snow

We don't get snow here in the Willamette Valley very often - especially in the area I live in (often referred to as the banana belt).

 Oh it gets cold enough, but there never seems to be any moisture when it's cold.  But every now and then......

Here are some winters past!

Let it Snow!

An early snow this year left the Columbia River gorge as a winter wonderland!

Snow Day!

I spent the most wonderful day in the snow yesterday with my brother and sister - both of whom are photographers.  We drove to Hoodoo ski area, stopped to view Mt. Washington, and then through Bend to Mt. Bachelor.  On the way home, the sky provided a picturesque view of the sunset - a perfect close to a perfect day!  


I am fortunate to have amazing and creative siblings to share a day like this with!
