2012, Day 46 - Frosted

Monday was not an especially sunny day in central Oregon but there were enough breaks in the clouds to get some great shadows on the sparkling snow.  The world seems to calm and peaceful when it is covered in snow; although to be fair I've generally only been around snow in a recreational capacity, I've never lived anywhere that would reliably have white winters.  Nevertheless the woods were quiet and the fresh snow made everything look so clean, the only sound we could hear were the birds and the quiet crunch of loose snow being compacted under our feet.
