a floweret bright, amid the cold of winter

So I know that my posting has been a little lame of late, this has been a busy winter. My family came to see me for Christmas, which was a lot of fun, but very action-packed. And now I have my engineer for a few days.

He hadn't seen snow since he was a kid, so I took him up to Lake Tahoe.

It was supposed to begin blizzard-ing any minute, and the skies were definitely stormy. But the lake was beautiful, frozen, and serene. The engineer loved it.

He was also impressed by the mountains in the distance. They don't have those where he comes from.

We had intended to sled and make snow angels, but we made footprint art instead.

And an itsy-bitsy snowman.

I hope your holidays were as happy as mine!
