I wasn’t sure we would have much sun today and when the clouds disappeared it was clear that it would be a good day to go make some photographs. It was ‘gloomy’ yesterday but that was also a good day for making photographs. Today was also a good day for sledding.
I grinned as I tromped through the snow to get to a favorite place for shooting – the only tracks in this patch of snow beside mine belonged to a dog who had come through earlier. Or maybe it was a coyote. No humans though. With a near virgin snow, and it being very quiet, it is easy to think that this moment is the beginning of time, and according to one way of looking at it, I suppose it is. 
A friend had a baby boy a few days ago and for that young fellow, all things are indeed new. This day is a celebration for him and his family.
The day will come when he is sliding down that hillside. Perhaps he will also see what I saw at Fall Creek.
Happy birthday, Roman.

just beautiful…the branch over the river is so delicate….just like a new born baby
Instead of enjoying the snow, I was busy moving it… off my drive. Too tired to take a hike, but maybe today.
I like how you caught the ripple in the creek. You have an eye and patience!
I wish I could still go sledding with the kids!
How wonderful, thanks for your thoughts Barry. This motherhood thing has turned out to be such a wonderful thing. I cry just looking at him. What a blessing from GOD! I feel truley blessed. Thank you sooo much for thinking of us. By the way he loves his quilt! We layed on the floor for an hour on it last night. We will see you soon. Thanks again, and the pictures are lovely as always!
