Winter Weather, Snow, Book Covers. 11-13-24

Greetings from San Cristobal, NM. This week, some scenes of winter weather, two new book covers, and snow. It’s been a cold week, but it’s warming up again. The heaters are cleaned and running, and the sun is shining. I hope it’s beautiful where you are.

Last week we took a drive during the snowfall here. Little did we know that the 12 to 15 inches we received in San Cristobal amounted to about an inch in downtown Taos as you can see from the image of the little chapel on La Loma Plaza in Taos. We have been fortunate to get hit by lots of moisture this year in our village north of Taos.

  1. The Lisa Goett book cover is stunning! Your little leaf on the pond is also, in its place of finality, a very moving scene despite it being just a leaf on a pond. Your photography creates dioramas, moving pictures in the mind of the viewer.

  2. Each photo uniquely appealing – envious of your lovely snow – it adds a sense of awe – PNW is drizzly weather all week long – though Mt Bachelor will open for downhill ski pass holders this weekend for the first time in its history.
    I’m going to check out the books now. M
