from Rion and the rest of us.
Christmas Eve
First Light
When we first moved here, I was tremendously impressed by the pink golden light on the hills west of us during morning sunrise. If you look closely, you can see where the ice fog that persisted all of yesterday ended about 100 feet above us.
A chilly solstice (and lunar eclipse)
Solstice Sunrise
I really had hoped not to be awake in time to take this, since we were watching the lunar eclipse last night. Astronomy Picture of the Day has this striking composite illustration of the winter solstice.

- High wind warning was a bust here, but evidently not further south where two trucks were overturned. #

Anniversary
Two years ago yesterday, I brought home a four-pound, eight week old scrap of black fluff and attitude from the Pikes Peak Humane Society. I stashed him in the master bathroom for safety while I went out to feed the horses. As I stepped outside in the bitter cold, listening to him scream at being abandoned, I saw the constellation Orion in the sky, and decided to name our new miniature schnauzer puppy after it. I took this photo about two hours later.
He still has the attitude.
