The year started with a pretty day, but a cold one. It was 5° when I hiked up the hill and saw this scene.

The vertical part of the “cross” is a contrail from a military aircraft headed toward your way, Stacey. The horizontal part, it it’s also a contrail is very unusual.

Gorgeous.I might have to replace my current desktop photo of yours with this one–hard choice. I like those contrails, if that is what they are. And I’m going to miss the WordPress snow, just a couple more days of it.

I’ve been thinking about using this for my desktop too, but I’m still stuck on the pheasant. I will miss the WordPress snow too. The real stuff will be with us here though until into April.

We’ve had at least a little snow every night for a week and it has been cold enough to keep most of it in powder form.

It’s a scene I like too. The mountains in the background are the Coeur d’Alenes. Each summer I visit the tops of several of those peaks which are within the Cherry Peak Roadless area.

What a tremendous climb it must be! How fortunate to be so close to the wild like that. Yes, it looks like a new beginning.

That roadless are is about 60 square miles in size and there are several trails into it and roads to the trail heads. Last summer I hiked to within a thousand feet or so of the tallest peak from the bottom. Quite a climb and I did it at the wrong time of year. Early next summer I will go there again but plan to spend a night on the peak. It’s a very pretty peak and was the site of a fire lookout back in the 1930’s.
Yes, I am very fortunate to live here. I have hiked and hunted and fished in these mountains off and on for over 60 years and love them even more each year.

A direct contrast to the steel gray skies I experienced on the rainy northern California coast yesterday. It was still beautiful just a different palette of colors. Thanks for sharing your beautiful scenery.

I am wordless, because it is so beautiful.
Am I seeing correct, if there is some kind of construction or is it a broken tree?
