A walk in the snow

We finally got some snow, so out with the camera go I. Fighting bitter cold (sub zero temps, 30 mph winds) and wading in knee deep snow, the numbing cold tests my reserve as I strip my gloves to work the cold steel controls of my camera; I stalk the "essence of cold" amid the Jemez Mountains of Northern New Mexico. Thank goodness for the miracle thermal fabrics of today, providing warmth in an unforgiving environment as I practice my art.
