Winter

Welcome to Vernonia
Mt. Hood Sunrise
five degrees out - but the sunrise was worth standing out in the cold. Winter has arrived.
More snow is coming
A Peregrine Falcon sits watching on a powerpole during our ongoing snowstorm. It is two days before christmas and we are making a last ditch effort to get to town for food and gas as more snow is coming.
A wider view of the Barn
Christmas has never been whiter....we have had over 30 inches of snow in the past 8 days.......

Christmas Day 2008
And the flakes just keep on falling......The Barn is approaching maximum density
Rock Creek during the snowstorm
The river is half frozen over now.
The Road to work
Is a lot less traveled! We had several more inches last night.
First Snow
Used for cutting large logs, this old and rusted maul faces winters first snow.
