My Family

NEVER sits still!! Seriously - I have to bribe them....

We have spent a LOT of time snowshoeing recently - and for every mile I took at least 10 photos.... I have over 400.... just sayin'

 Here is my crew.... our first day out was so blustery. The drive to our favorite spot provided us with whit out conditions, and winds so high, we really didn't think we would be able to be out for long.
 As a matter of fact - we couldn't get up to our favorite spot , and one of us needed a rest stop... so we found a new trail....

Once we got into the trees - it was just gorgeous. The snow was falling all around. It was amazingly quiet.

The trees were just amazing - they curved and bent and went all over the place. I might have taken a TON of pictures ( oops)  - Isn't that one below just crazy?


We drove down a little lower - and look who we found. I decided she had an attitude.... or she wanted to go for Hot Chocolate.... either way - she was pretty!

Proof that the sun was out!!

This little girl didn't understand that we were not her soul mates - she kept coming closer and closer. It was a little unsettling how comfortable she felt - so we kept moving.. and she went back to eating.
Be prepared.... I have hundreds - seriously - more!

This may be a dumb question but what are the animals in your pics. Elk?

That tree is amazing......Ansel Adams'esque! OK....I am showing my ignorance....but, what kind of deer is that? Is she tagged or something with that collar?

TLC said...

I agree with Kevin. Very Ansel Adams;esque!

That is definitely one amazing tree! I can only imagine what kind of weather it went through to end up looking like that! Thanks for sharing!
