Early Sunday morning, Alayne was leaving the house to start barn chores when she noticed the sun lighting up the frosty trees around us. We had a brief ice fog over night, and it coated everything in white crystals. I was at Widget's House taking care of the dogs before heading over to the horses when she took these photos. It was 3 below zero (-19 C), but no wind … and with the sun shining, we put a morning like this in the "brisk" category.
In the photo at top, you're looking southeast with the sun having come over the top of Marcum Mountain and making a clump of our cottonwoods incandescent.
In this next shot, you're looking northeast from behind Lena's Barn. The peaks are in the Scapegoat Wilderness. The berm of snow is from keeping our lane to the back of the barn open:
Here's another set of frosty cottonwoods:
That's our vehicle barn on the left and Lena's Barn in the back, with the roof of Scout's Barn on the right:
This is a young aspen outside our back door … you're looking due south here:
And finally, here's our little house with Ovando Mountain behind it. Alayne took this shot from the lane to the sighted horse corral. You can see that small frosty aspen from the photo above at the corner of our house:
Once we got done with the chores, it was time for a Sunday morning breakfast — pancakes, OJ and coffee!
