Welcome to Saturday Sparks 653!
Starting off todays party with our current view!
We are almost half way through winter.
The wildlife have mostly kept their distance, save for the occasional fox or coyote.
No deer sightings as of late, just some sporadic tracks in the snow.
It will be nice to see them again come spring.
In the meantime, I will savor the beauty and peace of our snow covered landscape.
