X Marks the Spot

The X is in the southern sky. That's the way we're heading, looking for sun and warmth (at least above 32 degrees)!

Winter’s Icy Grip

The mighty Mississippi stilled by the icy touch of winter. A little patch of open water is still visible.

The freeze and thaw cycles produced these icicles. I don't remember feeling the thaw cycles though!

Boxing Day

Our annual trek (semi-annual this year) to “Zum Golden Frosch” in Fountain City, Wisconsin. No boxing on the TV’s, but the Chicago Bears were playing.

Happy Holiday

A wonderful holiday celebrated with family in the cold, snowy North Country (Minnesota) amid the cheery decor at The Kensington.

Christmas Eve

Beautiful Creches in a shop window in Brienz, Switzerland.
