A few spots of white are better than NO spots of white. 🙂

*Spoiler* alert: The bummer is NOT Corazon. 🙂
The bummer, as you can see from the endless brown above (NOT Corazon, who, of course, is black and white), is the utter lack of snow yesterday, despite the teasing forecast that got our hopes up. I’m not sure what’s worse: snow in the forecast that never happens … or endless days of straight-up zero percent chance that it’ll happen.

Cassidy Rain and her band were around a little water source that was partially open, partially frozen. The white on the ground in the foreground is salt; it comes to the surface particularly when the ground has been damp.
We’re hoping for snow tomorrow, but the forecast isn’t looking so hot, err, wet.

Who doesn’t love that handsome Hollywood face?
After the disturbing news and images from the Capitol on Wednesday, a big hike in the basin finally took me to a visit with Hollywood’s band. As you can see from the background, there’s not a lot of white in our world these days, but we have a chance of snow on Saturday. Not a big chance, but we’re high on hope out here.

There are few words strong enough to condemn the violence yesterday upon the U.S. Capitol, and people wiser and more eloquent than I am already have spoken out against the terrible revolt.
Heartbreaking.

We’re all so little after all. Pretty Puzzle is brighter brown in a brown landscape.
Nope. Still no snow.

In a switchup from yesterday’s post, nearly snow-white Kwana is the bright spot in this landscape, southish a few miles from the location where I found Hayden.

Not much bothers Hayden as he browses among the lasting snow patches deep in Spring Creek Basin. The high ridges still have more snow, and hopefully the rest of the land will get snow soon (Tuesday?).
