Trouble Coming

A storm approaches the Boulder River Valley... Looking at this shot, I keep thinking Clint Eastwood should be riding up on a pale horse any minute now.

Sunburst

More on that first sunrise after a foggy week.

Transitory

The beauty of a thin shield of ice shining in the sun certainly is transitory-- especially if there's someone watching you take a picture of if. This flake got clobbered by a big kid with a rock about 10 seconds after I took this shot. So, is it better to not look too closely, and let it melt slowly in the sun, or to record the splendor for posterity, thus bringing about its immediate, though not intentional, demise?

Purple Haze

OK, the title is probably a bit of a stretch, but naming these photos is kind of an exercise in free association, and that's just what popped into my head. The skyline is the Teton Range (with the Grand Teton in the middle) peaking over the top of the Big Hole Range, as shot from about 90 miles away.

Winter Frills

Early in the morning after two days of heavy fog. Hopefully I'll be able to post a few more from this session in the coming days.

Mixed Vegetation

I have no idea why I like this photo. But for whatever reason, I seem to. I've held off posting it for a long time since I doubt anybody normal would be interested, but then it occurred to me-- What if my reader is abnormal too? What the heck; up it goes.

Snow Leopard 1

I know, I know. Doesn't look anything like a snow leopard. But there are a few other views of this snow bank that gave me the inspiration for the name, and it stuck long after the picture had changed.

Bow Wave

This shed looks like its plowing through the snow, but really the snow is flowing around it. And if things keep up, the snow just might wash it away.

Lounging in the Sun

Such a beautiful day today. Cold though: You'd have to be made of wood and steel to lounge outside for very long...

Happy New Year!
