Winter remnants

The human brain is an amazing thing.  At some point during the summer, when the night breeze moves lightly over our faces, I will barely be able to recall the depths of winter.  But at present, it is not quite ready to vacate the mesa.

The elk seem to be very active right now.  A herd of about fifty animals, all cows and only one bull, were literally thundering over the land just before sunrise last week, kicking up the newly fallen snow.




I call this image "Snow Nude" because of the graceful way the snow fell and folded over itself in a drift.




And a sign that the snow does melt to nourish the land for the growing season.  




until next Monday,

DB

a passion for the image

  1. The Snow Nude is a sweet, abstract image. Good eye on your part to see that design.
