Distant Sky

If you could get to the top of the rise here, you'd have a clear view of the comings and going of Casco Bay traffic. It was a pretty desolate scene though on an early Sunday morning, both on water and here on terra firma. Not much activity. Just a few plow trucks moving about, cleaning up the few inches of snow deposited the night before. In my youth of another time, I would have eagerly waded my way in the thigh high drifts to reach the top. Then if I was successful, I'd probably have raised my arms above my head and screamed something like, "I'm the king of the world."or maybe just, "I'm king of the mountain. See if you can knock me off."
Alone time.
I've always enjoyed it.
Back then and even now walking about in new fallen snow.

    Alone time is good fun! Exploring in all this snow looks like a good time

    I love to do that too! Although this year it has been fiercely cold at the same time so not as much fun.

    Perfect.

    (And not even a white golf ball in sight. I've come almost straight from Bob's blog).

    I think you are going to be showing snow photos into May this year. A guy could get depressed with all of that snow.

    We actually had snow here today but it doesn't look much like this. Everything pretty much came to a halt. I'll show you tomorrow what our snow looked like!
