Winter in the high country around Sierraville leads to a lightness of spirit. During the summer months cattle dot the horizon here, but during the winter months, the quiet peacefulness of pristine snow dominates the landscape.

Happy Fence Friday everyone.

Vermont in December is the definition of cold. At least it was on this day. So cold, that the water turned to ice as it cascaded over this small waterfall.

Happy Slider's Sunday everyone.

Somewhere in Vermont.

The Truckee River meanders through Truckee on a beautiful winter day. During our recent draught the Truckee River dropped to a record low level. Now, it's once again flowing confidently.

We Northern Californians have been lashed with rain and snow of late. This weekend we're expecting an atmospheric river event that will undoubtedly lead to lots of flooding, and with it, hardship for many.

Still, in the midst of nature's calamities there are always beautiful moments. Here is a shot from my front porch on a quiet and serene snowy night. The warm glow from my neighbor's house across the road is a comforting sight.
