Before Scraping the windows and other frost

I went out to scrape the frost from my car windows this morning and 

found frost that was well worth photographing.

So then I photographed some of the surrounding snow as well.

I just think that snow crystals are so pretty.

Progress to put up a parking lot

I have lived in this neighborhood now for 38 years and each time I turn toward my home I have seen this property and the old barn. I love the old wood but also realize that progress nearly always wipes out history of some form or another. I just had to photograph this one time before it is leveled to put in a parking lot. I don't know for sure that it will happen but it looks that way now.

These first four images were taken on an overcast day. 

The rest of them on a sunny day.

Tracks under the snow

In our small city we have a law that all dogs are suppose to be kept 

in fenced yards or on a leash at all times. 

Well it is interesting to me that I would have these

 tracks on my back porch when I do not even own a dog.

But it was interesting to scrape the snow and

 see these tracks frozen in the ice under it.

I just had to photograph them they seemed to be so perfect that 

I could almost make a plaster cast from them.

Rising Moon

Coming out from work I looked toward the mountain just in time to 

see the moon peeking out from behind it.

Frosty and Frostbite, such fun designs

An almost full moon.

I have wanted to take pictures each day as the moon goes 

through it's monthly cycle buy the weather has not cooperated. 

I did manage to get one before it was back to a full moon this month.

Tis the Season for Visitors

As I was leaving for work I noticed Quail out under my Colorado Blue Spruce trees. 

And then on my way home 6 deer crossed the road

 in front of me at the park near my home. 

I turned on the bright light to catch these images 

of the little 2x3 point buck that was with them.
