Frost

Frost is a delicate element of nature.  The simplicity and harmony of the frost that morning brought a calm and stillness to the morning.   

Winter Wonderland

 Although I do not wish for winter to be upon anyone soon I think I may have felt like editing these photos because in Austin it has been a steady 90+ degrees with humidity.  So some days I miss (In SMALL doses) the chill of a Montana day.  Winter is a beautiful time in Montana.  On this particular morning I can remember the clouds settling really low in the morning and then as soon as the sun started to come over the valley it cleared up the clouds and left a beautiful dusting of frost upon everything - it was truly a winter wonderland.  

Montana Winter

I recently re-located myself to Austin, TX - we've been here a little over two weeks and are enjoying it so far.  I am in search of a better job market for the arts, a change of pace and different climate - Austin had all of that to offer!

With the move my blog updates have been really lacking (actually non-existant).  So with 2010 here, one of my resolutions is to continue to blog new photos weekly.

I thought I'd put this picture up because it reminds me of why I love Montana and also why I was ready for a change of climate.  This picture was taken the day after a storm had come through Bozeman - dumping multiple feet of snow on our community.  Although this snow did not stop daily activity from going on it did slow down the town.  I really enjoyed the contrast of the truck and blue skies against the piles of snow.  Plus these old trucks are always fun to photograph and generally have a story of their own.
