Winter Beauty

We've had a lot of snow already this year. I admit that early in the season, I enjoy the beauty of the snow immensely. Later...not so much! "There is a season..." and all that.

 I bought myself a pair of snowshoes for my birthday. I have cross country skiis, but the snowshoes are more versatile in some ways, and it's easier to snowshoe with my dogs in the pasture than it is to ski.  

We have had some unusually cold temperatures in December; I don't enjoy that so much.

Winter weather does create some wonderful photos, though. Here are a few  a bunch of my favorites from recent weeks.

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me.
