January

 As we have just had our Snow Moon, the internet tell me that it signifies : patience, renewal, deep rest and clarity. Well that's one way of saying that winter is continuing and conserve your energy!

These are some of the sights of white variation that we get

Snow carver has had lots of snow to work with this year!

I love the snow tunnel under the pine

So this would be 'snow stops play'

You become drawn to any form of colour

Nighttime with snow becomes magical

Some rather puffed out raccoons visit briefly


Then a slight reprieve

Off to far flung places and pictures from the train in sunny England

Dramatic skies

and far away seas

Misty landscapes

Then back for more!

Curtain of icicles

Swirly snow

giving almost white out

Moments later the wind stops and sun appears!

We escape again and get morning sunshine, 
making buildings glow in the first light

Mountains and snow in the distance

and sunsets

To the biggest canyon! 

A dear friend asked me if I looked over the side! Nope!


We continued to climb and get to 7000 feet

Found stillness and calm in mid winter

Back down to desert

and cacti

So many types



Soooo spikey

Special ones that grow arms aged 50-75 yr! mark

and back to our Moon and the mark of mid winter


Such a month of contrast and moving about and seeing everything. 
Hope we all have a wonderful 2026!

  1. Miranda, so glad you got all those trips in! Wonderful photos as always. We are still dealing with snow from two weeks ago.

  2. Miranda- love that you got those trips in especially dealing with such a white winter! We too have been winter white and still digging out slowly! And you have sent us some of your frigid temperatures! Loved the raccoons and the cacti with blooms and the glowing palms! Think warm- it will return! Thank you!
