Snowshoeing White's Creek Area

Debra, Joe, Kimberley and myself went snowshoeing for a couple of hours up White's Creek. Great weather with 3 to 4 feet of snow. Made for hard moving at times.

Clearing Dad's Drive

My father got something like 2 feet of snow at this place. I headed up that way to help clear the driveway and took a couple of shots. Tilly Dog was loving the snow while Tia Dog was pretty much just lying around.

Snow Falling

Some not so good shots of the snow from Saturday.

Cold and Icey Night

I had to get one last night run in before the snow hit today. It's coming down right now but still not sticking, so I'd thought I'd post the few pics I took while riding. My wife bought me a new 12-24mm lense for my DSLR so I threw it in my camel back and road the 14 miles into town. The temps were in the 20's and my water bottle froze through. Thankfully I was well layered and was wearing ice climbing gloves (best darn biking investment I've ever made for icey weather riding). Thankfully I brought along a little tripod also. The first shots are of Virginia Lake which is a little man made puddle in the middle of town. I often go for the night shots on this lake just because I like the reflections of the Peppermill Hotel Casino in the background. Anyway, continuing on from Virginia Lake I rode down to Wingfield River Park and took some shots down the river. Usually I try photographing lower down as there is more light, but I liked this angle tonight. Heading from there I just had to get a picture of the big ol' and green Silver Legacy Casino. It reminds me of a glow in the dark toy. From there it was down to where the local panhandlers hang out over the train trench. They ignored me, but I would have too with all the black spandex covering me from head to toe. Shot some pics of Fitzgeralds and back down towards the El Dorado. I tried to get a bus in the last shot but it only came out as a slight blur in the lower right hand corner.
