These snow covered mountains were gorgeous.

Here I am, the head banana, with my little monkey comparing ourselves to our less tax-ridden cousins at the Hogel Zoo.

Logan in Winter

For my birthday in January Camille took me to Anniversary Inn in Logan. We were both impressed with how gorgeous the winers are there.

Trees of Ice

I was so in love with the way trees looked with ice clinging to the branches. they looked like trees of ice.

Icy Geysers

This bush looked like a geyser of ice. I really loved how this snow all looked.
