At the beginning of our sleigh ride in Steamboat Springs over the recent holiday break. I like the vibrant colors of the horses, and the glow in the sky. It was cold to say the least!
I love rain. Probably because it’s a rare treat in Southern California.
Taken in Annapolis, Maryland this past December. On the campus St. John’s College where @Padrepablo‘s grandfather taught.
