Dawn @ Sycan Ranch (Beatty, Oregon)

We just got back from two nights at our friends’ ranch. We were planning on staying three nights, but winter storm warnings for tomorrow caused us to leave a day early.

I got up before the sun this morning to take some photos. The temperature outside was a balmy 15 degrees Fahrenheit. The ponds on the property were all frozen over. The kids went ice skating later in the day.

The white dot under the moon in this photo is Jupiter. The sun made its appearance about 15 minutes later.

My random, desktop image of the day reminds me that six years and two months ago I had an incredible day in snowy Nikko.

I have been to Crater Lake many times in winter, but yesterday’s visit featured the most snow I have seen there.
