Excellent work. Thank you for going out there, into the cold , so I didn't have to. Now I can enjoy this wonderful pic, without losing my tookas to frostbite.

This is a great shot my friend.

Thank you, James. With luck, this current cold snap will be brief and the balance of winter will be mild (a repeat of last year )

And then last night's weather report said it dropped to 6F in Dyer, Nevada - just over the hill from me. And they call this the "temperate" zone?!

That was tropical compared to Deadhorse, Alaska where I once worked (-60 less the wind chill).

And you can be sure that if you're feeling right
A daydream will last long into the night
Tomorrow at breakfast you may prick up your ears
Or you may be daydreaming for a thousand years

Many thanks for that thought, Alan. Trouble is, you write well enough that I'm never sure when you're quoting lyrics from, for example, Lovin Spoonful, or crafting your own.

Thanks again, Ron, it was windy at 24F and the lake bed crust seemed spongy as I walked along, but other wheel tracks didn't end in abrupt craters so it was safe.

Beautiful, that light at dusk gives a special atmosphere, even if the sky is a bit overexposed.

I hope you had gloves!

Merci, mon ami OK, you're right about the sky and the next time out, I'll grab the camera with exposure bracketing. Good to hear from you and I hope all is well.
