Sunday morning I got up very early to take my daughter Teneile to work up the the Lodge. Dropped her off and proceeded to take a few shots of the cold morning. Temps around -25 below. Incredibly beautiful.

Well thanks! A bunch! One year ago today I awoke in the hospital and heard those words "You are in the hospital. You had a heart attack. You almost didn't make it." wOw. Today is a celebration of life. To the max, or close to it. It is as if it never happened and I am every bit whole and undamaged.Quote:

This shot looking SW towards Wyoming. Salt River Range in the far distance.
Did some editing to the shot. Perhaps this? :-)
Dig the photos, but your intra-photo frame is off-center, and takes away from the image. (IMO).
Yep, understood. Just experimenting. Seems to work for some shots, but not all. I haven't yet found some framing that I really like. Without one (frame) there seems to be something missing, and it may just be my composition to start with. I have been so busy with life that I don't really have much time to sort it out. Yet. I sure would save some time if I were to leave it alone.Quote:

Swan Valley, the paradise of my youth. More or less where my love of the outdoors developed.

'tater warehouses and windmills under the inversion and Kelly Canyon above....
Heading over that a way in a few days for some Big Sky and Jackson fun.
Was up in the hills with the boys over the weekend, tried the pass Sunday morning, holy crap was it snowing. No place to park and really too much snow falling for our purposes.

Headed back to the lowly Pine Creek Pass. About 6-8 inches of new. Had the place to ourselves. Good times...

Yesterday at the hill. Seats slippery and this little guy learned a lesson about friction. Not terribly high off the ground, but had there not been 18 inches of fresh, he may have been hurting in a couple of places.....
The boys in red were doing some training right under the lift and as you can see responded quickly.... Nice job guys!

They were doing some Toboggan Trainers Re-certification. Way more than 11 trollers on the hill that day. Several are close buds, and many more are acquaintances....Quote:

This pair I have been watching (from a very prudent distance) for a couple of weeks. Waiting for the eggs to hatch. Shouldn't be long!
