  Yes, so lovely to “see,” Gunta….I’m glad you enjoyed it, even with the shiver…viewed from your laptop at home. 🙂

Your streams haven’t iced over yet either, I see. It looks like you’ve got just about the same amount of snow that we do here.

  The photo is actually from last December, Allen, but it captured the essence of the day….and, right now, there are likely a couple of feet of snow on the ground at this particular spot up in the canyon….we’ve had quite a bit of the white stuff already. I read last week that we’re already close to 70-80% of what we usually get for in a year. That’s going to make for some wonderful Spring run-off viewing in a few months. 🙂

That cold, clear water and the white clinging snow…..what a beautiful contrast, Scott., and a square format always does it for me.

A wonderful image Scott. I love the clarity of the water that adds so much depth to the picture.
