Winter's Grip
Well if you wonder what the weather is like here this image sort of says it all. Cold and Snowy! I went out before dawn on Sunday before church looking for sunrise. there was none so I shifted gears and and found my self lieing in the snow and ice to get a low enough angle to capture the Ice reaching across the waters of the Tieton River after a week or more of sub-freezing temperatures.
By the way it is snowing again!
