Winter has settled in. Finally . A very mild November and December with mostly rain and temperatures above freezing . We have a bit of snow but nothing like last winter. These are the frequent visitors who cruise the yard hoping the flowers are out and blooming so they can have a snack.

 Early morning sunrise looking at the "V" . This is looking towards Glacier Park which is hidden behind behind the fog this morning .

 Colourful display of pink and peach as the sun rises over the Foothills. Sunrise is always a wonderful spectacle for a few moments lighting the sky with a broad pallet.

11 degrees this morning . Bright and clear with sun. The snow is less this year but with that comes more sunshine. Later on off to the forest service road and a hike with the dogs.
