Yesterday's snowfall was relatively light and short-lived, but I got out early and snapped some photos to document the rare phenomenon. There are about a dozen new images up at the Gallery, including bigger versions of these two:
Thanks, Alice. I did take a lot of more traditional snow-covered landscape photos, but I figured that most people wouldn't be interested in a 1" snowfall. That's a big deal for us, but not for everyone else.
Donna, I'm impressed that you singled that one out. It seemed like an ideal scene to stress the contrast, and that's the look I was going for. I just didn't know if anyone else would see it the same way.
Eighteen years ago this comming January, we relocated to Montana from Midland. I distinctly remember that early morning cab ride to the airport -- wasn't sure we would make it -- must have been 4 to 6 inches of snow overnight, the roads were a mess. Ironically, there was no snow on the ground in MT when we arrived. Enjoy your great weather -- supposed to be 20 below tonight ambient with 33 below windchill -- tomorrow night about the same -- should warm up a bit next week.
Yeah, it's been 18 yrs -- time does fly. Thoroughly enjoyed every minute (well almost - company related political stuff excluded) we lived in Midland. Montana is great, snow removal is getting to be a drag though.
Eric, I was wondering if we would get some pictures of your trek through the snow. Good job, as usual.

Your pictures mean more to me since I was there in October and can place where you are. I still am so happy we stopped for the visit!
The palm tree photo is fascinating. Startling. I love it!
Alice, we're also happy that you stopped by. It was a good visit!

Has it been 18 years? Wow; time sure does fly by. Montana must suit you, though, because you're still there! ;-)
We're 50 degrees warmer than you guys...nope, not complaining at all.
