All Is Calm

I'm going to Colorado for Christmas.  This is the beauty I saw the last time I was there.

After a storm comes a calm.

Rocks

Happy Thanksgiving!  Here's a photograph I made while in Colorado a few years ago on Thanksgiving Day when we got a very nice present of 8 inches of snow.  Coming from living in the desert for 25+ years, I had a ball going everywhere and making pictures!

Advice is like snow - the softer it falls, the longer it dwells upon and the deeper it sinks into the mind

Winter

These photographs were made a couple of years ago in the desert of California.  This is a rare sight in the Antelope Valley.  What a nice treat!

There is a privacy about it which no other season gives you.... In spring, summer and fall people sort of have an open season on each other; only in the winter, in the country, can you have longer, quiet stretches when you can savor belonging to yourself.
