Feb. 6, 2016: Dashing through the Snow

 

There's something beautiful about freshly fallen snow in a forest.  As a youngster, I loved to get out there and toboggan, make snowmen or built a snow fort.  As an adult it means a lot of shoveling and snow-blowing, so a little less fun.

People aren't the only ones who enjoy fresh snow.  As is evident from these photos of my wife's horses, they're also very fond of the white stuff.  We'd see them playfully racing around  the fresh powder until they grew tired.  Horses adapt amazingly well to cold weather, growing a thick long coat that protects them from the elements.

The photos are from our property near Spokane, Washington.

Thanks for the note, Garry!  They do love a run in the snow, and no ponds underneath to worry about -- just the rare gopher hole which is just as bad!  

Scenery should last.  Properties around us are all privately and people want to keep their trees.
