Winter brings so many days of activities it's hard to find the time to take pictures or post new blog stories. Those of you who follow us know that every year we fall of the map until the snow starts to melt. So I hope you enjoyed the brief recap of the last few months.

LOVE TO ALL.

Full Moon Snowshoeing

The following pictures were taken on Wednesday the 19th of January under a brilliant full moon. No flash was used. Pictures were taken by everyone on the hike as we passed the camera around. Enjoy the views while quietly singing

"Moon shadows, moon shadow..." in your head.

Heading home for a crock pot full of homemade road killed elk stew!!

If a picture is worth a thousand words,

I believe pictures of a full moon snowshoe are worth millions!!

Get Outside and Enjoy Nature

First Snowshow of 2011

Yesterday marked the first snowshoe excursion of the year. I don't who was more excited -

us or the dogs. Aspen proceeded to give herself a wonderful snow bath.

Doug tried to follow that big nose of his and just ended up with a face full of snow.

Me & Regina - Shan in the background

We seemed a bit confused to be in the lead, but it made for a fun portrait.

Shan took over and led the way west into the setting sun.

Finally, the top!!

We paused for a few moments to take in the gorgeous mountains we live in lit so vibrantly by the ever sinking sun. Then it was back down to the warmth of our homes, our families and dinner.

Shan and Regina have become wonderful friends over the past year. They live one block away and have two beautiful children whom have befriended Stown. The three kids can often be found cruising the neighborhood, sledding or having snowball fights while we stay home having intellectual exchanges over the current state of the world around us.

May your world be blessed with beauty, light, love and people to share it all with!!
