It doesn't get much more wintry than this. You don't just need the silent trees, you need the ice, the fog, and a fresh layer of snow. And on February 9, 2023 near Mono Lake, it all came together. Taken by yours truly on Route 395: "Winter Way".

It's getting to be that time of the year again: when the air is crisp, the sun is low, and every flake blowing off the mountain invites you to come up and play...

How many souls must have looked out from this cape, imagining what was beyond that horizon...spare a thought on this day before Thanksgiving to how it must have felt for those brave voyagers of yesteryear.

Be it ever so late in the fall, I somehow feel like I'd rather be someplace like this...

Seems a peaceful life, doesn't it? Being along "A wooded path in autumn", as lovingly painted by Hans Andersen Brendekilde...

The sort of scene that, were one immersed in it, would make even me forget about my troubles (and that's saying a lot...). Hans Andersen Brendekilde: "A Young Woman Walks the Dog in an Autumn Forest".

It has that magic of when fall ends and when winter begins...the magic of November. My capture of a crisp night sky over Bryce Canyon, "Holiday Night".
