Snow Scenes

For almost five years, I have been unable to offer you pictures like these. Finally, the weather gods are smiling on Tahoe. We have snow! 

These are just out the back door this morning. I wanted to catch the pines after 14 hours of snow before the sun began to shake the snow loose. 

The path was dug for the dog over a week ago. We both keep it shoveled.

Yesterday the snow around it became higher than Oso's back. 

Precipitation in a dry land is as precious as gold. And sometimes it is gold

as sunrise on the snow testifies. 

Gorgeous day for skiing, snowshoeing and being grateful. Snow returns again next week.
