Ponderosa Snow Series, No. 1.
I woke this morning to fresh snow – the clinging kind that coats the world, but only from the side of the direction of the storm, and lightly and delicately, not an oppressive mass.
I’ll be featuring photos from the storm over the next few days. All were taken on McMillan Mesa in Flagstaff, Arizona. In this photo the Dry Lake Hills rise in the background. They are lava domes that stanched the flows of extrusive lava that formed the mesa on which I live.

A Christmas snowbird, for my sisters.
Dark-eyed junco (Junco hyemalis), in Flagstaff, Arizona. This is the red-backed subspeices – an extremely common bird that is present year-round here in northern Arizona. Distinguishing marks include the birds’ ruddy mantle feathers and bi-colored bills.
