What is it about the snow, that brings the animals out?
We got dumped on… about 15 – 18″ in the course of a couple of days. It was beautiful.
The animals were literally knee deep in it.
It coated the trees against a blue haze in the overcast snowy skies. It was super cool!
I never thought I’d like snow, but I find myself wishing for it, so I can go out and capture it’s many different faces.
We just did this interesting trek to a historic western past via Rock Art Ranch, east of Winslow.

Aside from a great history, cool old buildings and artifacts… it’s got petroglyphs, and lots of them.
Pretty cool!
There is something magical about the first snow fall. I used to hate snow. It’s just too darn cold. That was, until I learned to appreciate it for it’s beauty. It’s so pristine, with it’s virgin white clumps adhering to tall majestic pines; piles lay in the road with nothing more than road tracks or animal prints. It’s breathtaking to behold. So I wanted to capture it’s amazing beauty.
I can’t wait for the next snow fall. I want to go out again!
We have been inundated with fog these last few days. It has been relentless, morning and evening.
It’s made for eery weather and poor visibility… but cool pix, if you can get ’em.
We sat and watched these two deer families interact. One deer mom had one little one; the other had two little ones. I don’t know what the deal was, but they were none to pleased that the other family was there trying to horn in on their spot.
It seems to me that they should stick together. Goes to show, I have a lot to learn about deer behaviors.
I could do a whole book on Mogollon Rim, and maybe I will.
I am lucky enough to call this magical place my backyard. So it’s no coincidence that you’ll be seeing more photos of this picturesque terrain. We take photographic journeys and lunch outings to ‘the rim’ on a regular basis. Notably some trips are a bust and the photographs are less than inspiring, but they are always good practice, peaceful, and relaxing.
