The only thing that makes it better is when you get to see the critters out enjoying it. Well, okay, I cannot verify they are indeed enjoying it. Maybe they are just doing what they do daily anyway, but we watched a neighbor’s dog run around in the snow and he seemed to be having a grand time, kicking up powder and face-planting on the sharp turns.
The best were the deer. This group goes by Russ and Mary’s house nearly every day and I caught them coming through for lunch. I kept my distance, thrilled that my long lens still works perfectly despite it’s canyoneering event, and fired off a bunch of shots. The deer kept an eye on me, but for the most part they did not seem to mind my presence. Except the doe which decided to bolt over the fence.
