Here in The Berkshires we’ve been getting a pretty good dose of Winter. It reminds me of the Big Snows of my childhood memories, and frankly, I like it.
January has been both snowy and icy, with the trees up in the hills encased in ice for the last many days. Here are a few shots of that.
Mount Greylock, our highest point, from a distance:

A roadside maple magically encased in ice fog:
A barn slumbering in the stillness of snow:
Farm machinery takes a break:
A logging operation awaits warmer weather:
The main road to/through Upper Florida glows in late afternoon:
A fox’s trail through deep snow:
And finally, as the day ends, a look back toward where i began:
Despite the travails of winter living in these parts, the beauty of it keeps me here.
Thanks for sharing my day.
the one of the road is exquisite!
Thanks. Yeah, I liked that one as well. And the fox trail in the snow.
I didn’t know that was a fox trail until you told Sherry. The ice on the trees by the road is especially pretty.
I remember major winter snows from my childhood in Ontario.
No…thank YOU for sharing your day with us.
Stephanie, welcome! It’s always a lift to hear from new commentors – it’s all too easy to imagine that the half-dozen folks who regularly give me feedback are the only ones who visit my humble abode.
I hope winters in Oregon give you something interesting to look at besides your otherwise spectacular scenery. (Did I get that right? I’m just learning to look at IP addresses and such.)
