Snow in them thar hills

We had a cold snap last weekend, and I took some pictures of the powdering of snow on the mountains we see on our daily walks, so am posting one here. Also took Orvis to the beach at Koocanusa and got a picture of heavier snow on Canadian peaks across the lake. It's a much bigger lake than shows in the picture--you can see only a small inlet because of the way I'm positioned to get the mountains. Then there's the one I took of Dad, radiating enthusiasm for the whole excursion: and also a link to another attempt by Orvis to catch a critter. The light is better this time . . . but that doesn't mean he caught anything. And then, there's the one of him ignoring a whole flock of ducks on the lake-- Needs editing, but I don't have time right now. I have also had my last hike in Canada for the season--took off from Chateau Lake Louise (fond memories for John & Darby??), and went up Big Beehive. Clouds were low, and we had a bit of "snain," but the colors were beautiful, and at the top we felt like we were on top of the world. Of course, I forgot to transfer my camera from my car to my fanny pack, so the only pictures I have are in my mind. Nice for me, but hard to share . . .
