We had the mountains with snow, but that wasn't the same. There is something about this deep cold and dormancy that is built into my psyche, and it craves it if I don't have it.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21312708.post-69476371643376401572008-01-21T13:44:00.000-05:002008-01-21T13:44:00.000-05:00Lovely picture of Bishop.Winter looks lovely in th...Lovely picture of Bishop.<BR/><BR/>Winter looks lovely in the pictures Ruth.

I will see if I can open it better in IE. In the meantime, I have seen enough to know that you are the artist Astrid sees (she is one, too!). I often am envious that YOU picked your blue background first because it does so well for your photos. I love these stories of your everyday life.
