Fruitland, Utah

Today was a beautiful day.

A blizzard blanketed the area with a layer of snow. The pinion pines were simply gorgeous.

We observed some 30 deer browsing on willows, currants and sagebrush. Three bald eagles soared above the cliffs. Two moose had a hard time trying to hide. Their black silhouettes against the new fallen snow were spectacular. Two mallard ducks searched for solace, a lone coyote maneuvered up the mountainside, several meadowlarks huddled on a barbed wire fence and a flock of chickadees fed on lingering seeds.

It was a wonderful day.
