It’s been some days since I collected images of first snow and it was followed by a much more significant deposit, yet I wanted to share a few of the earlier pictures.
You’ll have to forgive me if you don’t like snow!
.
Lone trees always appeal to me.
As I believe I’ve said before.
.
Seasonal picture of the Allen tree.
And the nameless road.
Presumably to the Allen house.
.
Our scenic route.
.
Picturesque in any season.
Despite the gloom.
.
A red-tailed hawk was sitting in a tree calling out as if to its mate, though we did not see another.
.
It’s unlikely, but this hill always reminds me of a burial mound.
.
As a child I was very keen on digging for buried treasure and I have always been envious of those who find ancient coins or artifacts. I love the idea of holding in my hand something that was created hundreds or thousands of years ago.
Why was I not an archeologist?

Cheers to the class of 2024 showMonotone up much better when outlined by snow!
Otherwise you have to know to look.
.
This is a mostly monochrome, monotone post.
.
But it’s not quite all black and white.
.
You don’t need to look far for a red barn.
.
But to end with something more interesting, here’s a picture (not mine, obviously) of Wisdom the Laysan albatross who has laid an egg in her 74th year.
Isn’t she magnificent?
Babies at 74! What do you say to that Carolyn?

I think my comment disappeared.
Your Allen tree looks even prettier in the snow. I love your snowy road trips – the world looks so different than in the other seasons. Motherhood at 74 – that’s quite amazing. I hope all goes well for Wisdom and her egg.
