Winter's beginning

It is an exaggeration to say that autumn is over and winter begun. I know. It is not unusual to have 30° weather at the end of October, just a bit of a disappointment when we have had so many nice days in the 70°s.

This is not a complaint. I love winter. It just takes awhile to adjust.

We got a dusting of snow early this morning. Hoar frost on Panther Mountain in the background. The snow is gone, but the frost is still there at noon.

And the second pic is a fine example of the WoodMan taking full advantage of a wet cold frosty kinda day. Also still there at noon.
