. . . Norma Linsky shows us water on tree limbs, in clouds and in the Middle Fork Flathead River!
Debra Schweitzer provides a more subdued image of the Swan Range while . . .
. . . Joel Vignere shows us the pinwheels that form when the sun comes out, small clumps of snow fall from warming rock faces and trees, and then roll downhill!
Ruth Quist shows us how fog collects on vegetation as hoar frost, in this case on teasel, while . . .
. . . Pat Jaquith shows us how, oddly enough, rare Snowy owls tend to collect on roof tops!
Pam Willison came across a woodpecker's lunch site!
Skip Via and his wife did a little snowshoeing in Yellowstone National Park and came across . . .
