Interestingly, before I got out to Terra and her band, the mountains had been fully visible. Rather than clearing of snow clouds, the clouds were enveloping them (again). They look just about as fabulous as Terra in HER winter coat. 🙂

Nap with a view

Sleepy, sleepy Skywalker. 🙂
All that snow acts as a giant light reflector, and while the air is cold, it also serves to create a very real warmth. And after filling their bellies, they’re very amenable to nice little naps!

That face!
Chipeta makes me work for her glamour shots … and she always rocks it. She glows!

Corazon chose a nice place to nap, framed by juniper trees, surrounded by fresh snow.

Fresh

Another inch to 2 or 3 fell over Spring Creek Basin early yesterday morning and freshened up our snow world!

Buckeye gives Aiyanna a snuggle while surrounded by snow on a morning of pristine whiteness.

Just about right
22 01 2023
Pretty pale Rowan was quite undisturbed by the couple of inches of fresh snow a few days ago.
Cold temps are keeping a fair snow cover in place for us. The rest of Southwest Colorado, by all reports, is pretty well buried under an exceptional amount of snow. The greasewood and shadscale pictured around Rowan wouldn’t be visible if we had the snow that our neighbors have! We’re plenty happy with our seemingly just-right amount of snow. 🙂

Napping in the lap of white
21 01 2023
By the time the sun reappeared from the snow clouds, Tenaz and Skywalker and Sancho and the band had settled into naps. That sunshine *does* feel remarkably warm, especially after a blizzard wave!

Buckskin ‘n snow

I think Mother Nature must find particular pleasure in the colors of her world. 🙂
Kestrel consented to pause her grazing for a few moments on a hill near Knife Edge (it does draw the eye … and especially when highlighted by snow!).
