Six More Weeks of Winter

As always, the ground hog saw his shadow and there will be six more weeks of winter. (Or in my case probably three more months.) I'm getting a little stir crazy for some great summer landscapes to enjoy. I do enjoy the winter landscapes, but this time of year it's not always gorgeous and white but more yellow and muddy.

I took this picture of Steamboat lake this last summer while we were camping. I'd gotten up really early and went for a hike with my camera in hand. There was steam rolling off the lake as the sun rose. I took some really neat reflection pictures, but with the bark beetles in the area, the trees make it hard to take a nice landscape picture. It's so extremely sad to look at the forest with the beetles killing so many of the trees.

So, while we're still fully into winter, I will be planning some great camping trips and can't wait to take my camera along during the warm morning hikes.
