Snow Zone

I have 23 pictures that I want to share which sounds like a lot. I will divide them up into categories.

Human Category

Cross-country skiing and having an ice fight with ski poles.

I'm playing the harp while Chloe stares at Pippi on my arm, transfixed.

 



 



Rose acquired a parakeet for Christmas. It is named Autumn and it is on the left in the picture below.

 

Landscape Category

The snow glittered and sparkled marvelously. My face stung with the cold. The 7 ft. drifts loomed up where a fire had ravaged the area. We had headed out to go ice skating but the snow acted like an insulator, covering the slushy water.

Dogs (All of Comet except two of Gypsy)

"Enough pictures! All done!" Chloe the Calico Cat complains.

I had a lovely Christmas break and I hope you did too. I did manage to read a couple of the books I wanted to read but I was busy getting in twenty hours of physical exercise for school. Which I had no problem doing seeing as how we went to La Pine, Oregon with an ATV and than to Parkdale for a refreshing four days. On the way back from Parkdale, we hit a part blizzard, part nightmare and Dad had to put the chains on and off, four separate times.

We finally got to Parkdale though, completing the trip in 7 hours instead of 2 and a half hours.

We went ice skating on a pond/lake 10 minutes from our cottage. It was superb up there but unfortunately I got no pictures. I did take pictures of our meager ice on our creek though!

There were a lot of tracks in the sparkling snow....... and birds at the birdfeeder!
