A recent sunset over Lake Alice ranged from deep purple to blazing orange.
Spring Stream
White puffy postcard clouds cast shadows across last seasons snow on Elk Mountain and cold fast running spring stream water.
Spring Shadows
Early spring sun casts shadows across soon to awaken greenery, and soon to be gone snow.
Cotton Lilac
Years ago, circumstances had me visiting the south a couple of times a year.
Driving past endless rows of cotton fields, I imagined that the cotton was clumps of snow that had attached to cold limbs.
The damp snow this week clung to a lilac bush and reminded me of how the cotton looked.
Last Night Lights
Barely visible beneath the ridge of Elk Mountain, trail lights shine for one of the last nights of night skiing for this season.
Still tons of snow on the slopes, check Elkskier.com for schedule and conditions!
Winter Lodge
Being a human, it’s difficult to imagine a comfortable home accessible only underwater. Yet our neighbor beavers find comfort and protection through the long winter in carefully constructed lodges.
13th Annual Timmy’s Town Memorial Ski Day
Come out and enjoy some awesome skiing this Sunday and support a great cause!!!
Porcupine
When opening the Tecumseh trail on Elk Mountain recently, I came across this fellow making his way across the freshly groomed slope on his way back home.
I stopped several feet away from him and hailed him a good morning. It’s uncertain if he could have been less interested in me.
He glanced over his shoulder at my voice, twitched his backside in warning, and waddled unhurried into the woods.
Frosty Peg
There’s a row of pegs protruding from the outside wall of the ski patrol base between which we lean our skis.
I noticed the detail of frost that had formed on the pegs over night, and had recently so spectacularly coated the trees near the summit.
