Glazed Over

This is the part of winter that I love most, and it only just became winter today, or yesterday depending on when I post this (12/21).

Here are some of the shots that I took as I returned to my home nestled in the orchard. When people say something or someone is beautiful but deadly, this is what I think of.

EDIT/UPDATE 12.23: We've been out of electricity since early 12/22, along with 270k others in the state. I love a white Christmas as much as the next person, but this is a little much. I'm posting this now from a hotel, but we'll be traveling back and forth from here to home to take care of the animals. It is nice to be able to shower, though.
