Based on the hysteria I saw on the news last week, some HuntTalkers from the eastern U.S. should have some winter pictures to share.
The snow in SW MT is melting rapidly. Here's a sunset shining on the length of the Elkhorn Range - from High Peak on the left to the snow-covered top of Elkhorn Peak on the right. I've been taking my evening walks in short-sleeves.

This weekend I was able to get a couple of pictures that captured the heart of winter around here.
Weather worn look.

Thanks for the moonrise picture....I don`t have any to load up.
I hiked 115 miles of the Sangre Di Cristo Mtns back in Summer 1984.
Watched a Brown Bear throw her cub at least 20 feet in the air to get him to grab our "bear bag"
Glad we were higher than she could throw, it was a little unnerving from my tent in my North Face Cat`s Meow.
That bag still best bag I have, but is a little snug for my current frame.
Philmont Boy Scout Ranch , I think they are still going strong.
Thanks,

We were headed down to Westcliffe last night for a basket ball game and I saw 5 bucks in a field by the road. I tried to get them all but the road was icy and there was a person coming up behind me so I left. The buck behind the tree was actually the biggest one. No record, but respectable. There was another off screen and a few little ones. They all had both antlers so they are not shedding yet.

North of Great Falls, by the wetlands, we had a thick frozen fog descend that didnt start clearing up for some visibility until after noon, when I shot this one, you can see the sun. Not as gorgeous as the sideways frost above, but everything had frozen frost on it. I was getting a a bunch of macros. Then I saw the badger a few days later (we were both moving, not great pic), have never seen one in real life.

Hiking the Ridge to ski is my main form of winter exercise. This year I've haven't had the time, but last Thursday I figured I could get away for three hours so I drove to the ski area. It was the first time since Jan 2nd. Once there, I realized I forgot my hat and gloves - guess I was thinking too much about the domestic conflict. I was furious to blow my one chance at a powder day, even if sloppy seconds. So I ran back home, got the gloves, and drove back to make one hike before returning to work.
On the other front, Sam and I did a late season elk hunt a few weeks ago. Sam is part of the drama club at middle school and here he is playing the lead role in "I'm Too Tired to Take Another Step." To his credit, he got up at 5am the next day and after several close calls (which make for better stories) he got an elk. He is learning that reward isn't handed to you for just showing up.

I think I know where that is but I can't zoom in enough to verify.
I took Alex Russel out for a spin at Bridger yesterday. Here he is, pondering the terrain, and wondering if his life insurance is up to date after making the traverse that you can see to his right.
I took this one a few years back and it has always impressed me the way it captured the defeated look of a person realizing how steep and narrow Hidden Gully really is after a really hard hike to get to it.

Just got some film back from the processor. These rolls of film have been banging around in my bag for a while so not all are really winter photos.
(I think this one suffered from "Old Camera Syndrome" and the shutter didn't fully open, thus the giant black line at the bottom.)

I got to thinking yesterday, that I have not seen a "Winter Pictures" thread on here in a while....
I enjoy these threads and seeing pictures from all the different locales, seasons, terrain, people, hobbies, pets, etc. Very cool IMO.
So, Happy New Years to all, here's a few pics from this winter.
