A very happy Ally, frolicking in the snow
December 8, 2009

We've accumulated about nine inches of snow over the last three days. The temperature hasn't gone above 15 or so during that time, so we have no ice and only fluffy powder. When the sun came out this afternoon, I bundled up and took our eager dog into the canyon.

This man was jogging uphill in snowshoes. He appeared to be in his sixties, and he's much fitter than I am.






The cruel reality of my life is that Ally hates to have her picture taken. As soon as I lift the camera to my face, she will look every other direction but toward me.



When Mike came home from work, he jogged into the canyon to catch up with us. Ally was surprised and thrilled to see him out there.

































Later I headed to the Garden of the Gods to see the snow. I've never seen it so empty!
