Thanks. I like it too. But it also is not faring well in the current contest for fog and snow and ice, or whatever it is. I think the average voter wants a bunch of phony color added to such shots. This one is undoctored, like nearly all of my pics.

Thanks, Lynn! I've been tanking for the most part in the contests lately (although I've got a blue ribbon shot of birds that's holding up for now) so maybe I'll give this one a try soon... :)

The thick cold air and the distance turn the earth to blue! This is a magical place to the local inhabitants.

Surreal day in the woods! Thanks for the comment.

Thank you, Patrick. This is my backyard in New York. I also live in Arizona--where in fact I am now. The snow is great to look at but I don't miss shoveling it or driving around in it... :)
