‘Twas the Night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a Pug;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that Santa Pug soon would be there;
The Pugs were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar cookies danced in their heads;
Then all of the sudden, there arose such a clatter,
The Pugs sprang from there beds to see what was the matter;
Away to the window they flew like a flash,
To open the shutters and jump on the sash;
Just in time to hear old St. Pug as he drove out of sight,
Merry Christmas to all, and to all Pugs, a good night.
Inspired by Clement Clarke Moore

Lights on Caboose Don’t forget to put lights on your caboose. Oh, you don’t have a caboose; me neither. Still, looks cool.

A Touch of Snow Sometimes, just a touch of snow helps the accent and contrast to make a nice photograph. Then, just slow down the exposure for the stream to blur a bit. And, you have it; a simple, long click.

Think Snow This images may depict what seems like deep snow. Still, it takes lots of snow for goods skiing. Think nice cool thoughts to help bring a little new snow each day. Even a few inches of powder is better than none.

Snow Please Snow A nice snow storm this week would be really nice; just a few inches to cover the ground, the trees, and, of course, a few hydrants.

Cooper’s Hawk on the Trail Cooper’s Hawks are common in this area. Still, I usually see them along the trail in late fall, early winter.
