Snow Country
Snow Country Fresh sparkling snow is just part of northern Michigan in the winter. Downhill skiing, cross-country skiing, snow boarding, snow shoeing, ice racing, and, of course, ski planes all become part of the magic.

Yellowstone Roads Most years Yellowstone has more snow than shown in this image. No matter what the depth of the snow, winter in Yellowstone is always a special experience.

Yellowstone Shadows Winter in Yellowstone provides some of the most dramatic scenes. Late afternoon sun and the snow make sharp contrasts across the land.

Deer are Back! Yep, they’re back with a just a tad of afternoon light. Wouldn’t you just love to give this gesture upon occasion. It seems altogether fitting and proper for the right situation at the right time.

Gray Squirrel Eating Crabapples This guy sure doesn’t look very gray. It’s been a good winter for squirrels so far. The temperature has not been too cold. Snow cover only really covered the ground in December. Notice how this squirrel has not missed many meals.

Sax Player before First Concert This sax player appears to be deep in thought just before his very first concert in a band. The concert was very nice. It’s amazing to me; just how good a 6th grade band can be. Congrats.

Flying to Alaska This image gives you a sneak peek at a series of posts describing my flying trip to Alaska some years ago. I’m planning to make a post for each day I was gone describing that day including flying, weather, points of interest, challenges, and accomplishments. The images, like this one, will be either slides or prints which were scanned and restored into digital format. Each post will contain several images to help describe the day’s activities. The target date to begin the series is July 10th. Hopefully, I’ll also post a few more sneak peeks between then and now.
