Early Fall In Montana

Ten years ago when I visited Montana, I was impressed by its majestic mountains and bold scenery. On the recent second visit, I found I am so in love of it. The road to Logan Pass (from Avalanche to Jackson Glacier) was closed due to the freshly covered snow, we were just one day late.Continue reading “Early Fall In Montana”

Iced Thistle

This picture was taken same time last year on my regular walk path. It’s a path full of thistles that I found boring most of the time. But, thanks (and no thanks for severe cold weather) to the ice storm… and the natural bokeh in the background.

I feel no constraint because I do not need to go outside the house to work every day. But days are so short that I am constantlyContinue reading “Dream – Snow – Puzzle”

Walks and Thoughts on Snow

Other than the extreme winter I experienced in Chicago, this is the lowest temperature that I ever witnessed here. It is hard to make belief to my tropical friends that the temperature actually went down to 1 degree Fahrenheit (Celsius 17 subzero) a couple of days ago. Snow came down 6 days ago and IContinue reading “Walks and Thoughts on Snow”
