Today was interesting...blue skies, cold temperatures, and a slight breeze. Was it TOO cold to go for a hike? Where to go? Ah, Cottonwood Lake. A favorite place to ride to in the summer, to fish, or to picnic. But today was a day to walk up the road and observe the changes that are coming. Snow had already fallen and there were piles at the edge of the road. Trees were bare. Birds were few. But the brisk air was perfectly fine. As the dusk fell, this little respite caught my eye...the gold of the setting sun turned the water the same color. A moment later it was gone. How lucky I was to be there to capture the scene.
So quiet and peaceful
Tranquil and blissful
There's a kind of magic in the air
What a truly magnificent view
A breathtaking scene
With the dreams of the world
In the palm of your hand......
From the song "A Winter's Tale" by Queen
