General
MANY PHOTOS IN JANUARY AND FEBRUARY. 18 SLEEVES. Plenty of snow, ice. Mesa and roads snow-laden. White-stripe-around-midsection cattle. Lovely corner posts on fences. Animal tracks in snow. Cañada del Frankie. Snowy pond with human figure. Pink sunset in almost empty pond. This is getting very repetitive, but I loved visiting those little ponds.
