In addition to my favorite deserted cabin, there were other interesting things to photograph as I drove along the country road while the snow softly fell. No further words from me - the quotes say it all......

Word of the Day - Winter!
This morning, when I pulled up the pleated shades in the great room, I was greeted by a very wintry morning! The wind was blowing like mad, and altho there wasn't much snow, what snow there was looked like a blizzard, due to the wind. It was a day I was glad (temporarily) to be in a nice, warm house! I picked up each of the kitties, showed them the weather, and told them it was most definitely a good day to be an inside kitty! From inside the kitchen, I took this image and thought it most certainly depicted the word "winter" - therefore, it's the word of the day!
This next image was taken last weekend during the hoar frost, but I didn't post it. However, I really, really like it and thought it also was a good example of winter. This is Ozzie, my friend's Norwegian Fjord, and the speckles on his coat are glittering frost. The lighting for this image was very contrasty, and so I decided to convert it to a black & white image. I then added a bit of a sepia photo filter to warm it up a bit. I just love the expression on his face, and this image is one of my favorites! ( I did end up going out to get fixin's to make a slow-cooker dinner - perfect for a winter day!)
Enjoy!

Morning Snow in New Mexico
This morning, I pulled open the pleated shades in the great room, expecting to enjoy the morning sunrise. However, a New Mexico winter snow storm greeted me instead. I decided to document how quickly winter storms can come and go here!
These first photos were taken as the snow was falling - big flakes coming down quickly! The above photo makes summer seem so far away.
I do like the above image because I like the look of the snow on the branches of the shrub in our front yard.
These pine trees are right outside the door from our bedroom to the back patio (and hot tub). I took a close up because it creates the impression of being in a bit of a piney wood.
An hour or so later, the snowy part of the storm began to lift. I really like the image above - so much to see in one image, and the weather creates the effect of natural layers.
I included this image so you get an idea of how windy it was as the storm blew away. Check out the wind sock! Our little yard art of two kitties flying planes (lower left hand corner) were really moving, altho you can't tell that from this photo.
And, just a short time after that, the storm was gone! The above photo is the same as the photo two photos up. We have our beautiful blue skies are back!
In this photo, you can see the last remnants of the clouds that were overhead just a short time ago. And, even with all that snow blowing around, the amount that actually stuck on the ground is really very little. Here's hoping the rest of this New Year's Eve day remains this clear!
