A New Beauty in Lassen County

Day 2 of a dusting of snow. A few minutes ago I went across the street into the woods to take my picture(s) for the day and as I was looking along the horizon and the mountains I started thinking I will ALWAYS have those pictures to fall back on all winter.
I asked myself, "Self, what is out here today that probably won't be seen the rest of the winter due to being covered with snow?" These pictures are what I answered myself with. In fact I am rather proud of my pictures today. Not in the pictures themselves but in my own thought process of the how's and why's of doing so. Gosh I love what I am learning for myself through this blog.

So here are the pictures

The ground being a good place to start. One decent snowfall and I will not see anything peeking out of it till a good spring thaw.

Out of the four I am going to post here today, I like this one best.
I see simple, ya know?

My Raspberry bush still has red leaves on it, and the contrast of red and white and green is beautiful

And it just so happens to be the major colors of this holiday season. I hope I can be lucky like this the rest of the winter, but I sort of doubt it. I will however try.
