I would rather have a mind opened by wonder than one closed by belief.”

I do think getting out in the cold has a way of opening the mind and eyes. Taken at the Arapahoe Bend Nature Area about midmorning.

I like the quote but love the photo, Monte. It’s amazing what a little snow and fog can do for a scene.
Sounds like we may be in for a little snow ourselves this week. We’ll see what happens.
Monte Stevens
It’s predicted to be the same for the next couple of days here. You guys do not need any more snow, Paul’s gonna move back to Dallas. Hold it, they had snow in Dallas, also. 🙂 Stay warm!
Tom Dills
I had hoped that we were done with snow for this year, but maybe not. If we do get snow, I just hope it’s enough so there’s no deciding about whether or not to go to work! 🙂
I’d suggest to Paul that perhaps Dallas isn’t far enough South. 😉

Man! You KNOW that I’m not moving back to that place – Dallas! Ain’t gonna happen! I’d sooner move to Fargo, ND … well, maybe not, but if I did, I could have some cool winter photos like you, Monte. 🙂
We’re under a Winter “Storm” Watch right now. Possible accumulations of less than an inch! Glad that I got the milk and bread this morning. LOL – What a joke!!!
Beautiful, high-key shot, Monte. The word that comes immediately to mind is delicate.
Monte Stevens
I didn’t think you’d go back there. And, Fargo? I’m not sure I’d go there either. Yes, delicate works as well as quiet. It’s amazes me how quiet a snowfall really is.
Tom Dills
You’d better be careful mocking the weather forecast, Paul…we might just end up with that 8 inches they’re talking about! I just read where bread, milk, sand and de-icer were the “hot” items at the stores, so it’s good that you got yours! 🙂
paul
If we get 8 inches, I’ll be ready – I’ve got plenty of milk, bread, and Morton’s salt (deicer) 😀

Nice and moody – I like that shot! The quote is excellent as well!
Monte Stevens
Thanks, John!

Wow Monte! This is so cool. I like it. There’s a certain bleakness about it but without being depressing. We could really use some of your cold air over here right now.
Monte Stevens
Maybe we could work out some sort of sharing scheme. 🙂 We are not seeing some warmer temperatures and the snow is melting.
