snow capped purple coneflower seed head --- i never dead head the purple coneflowers -- all winter long the birds nibble and they "self-seed" ... we have an abundance of purple coneflowers.

it was a good one !

spike & ike -- hanging out in the shade of the neighbors tree -- waiting for mama

hope - blessings - opportunities - possibilities

frosted pines

so no driving on this field road until it melts....hopefully soon, slowly, but soon

the frozen tundra -- i left the office late yesterday afternoon and followed the snowmobile tracks back to the "back 65" --- the patch was the extreme left of the picture.....there's a lot of snow out there and a few snowmobile tracks . . . and a few animal tracks.
