Through the Trees....

We had a frost... a crisp clear morning. This scene shows the early sunlight shining on the distant mountain known as “The Ned” through the naked winter trees. Maisie went exploring a ditch filled with water and weeds. She emerged looking very pleased with herself but covered in mud up to her belly. I had to head to a deeper part of the Taylor River and entice her in by tossing stones into the water. So the mud was washed off her while she enjoyed a mud-winter swim.
