Certainly gives perspective, Katherine!! Fantastic shot, and was your son ever a good sport!! Was the walk down the path to the falls icy?? #11551499

Thank you all! Teresa -- he's a natural risk-taker, so no thought at all about walking out on the ice in his sneakers. We had intended to bring the yak trax, but left them home. One guy went down the hill & across the bridge below to the R wearing them. Without, you'd never have gotten back up, if you'd made it down without slipping into the creek! And it was very cold, hi 20s with a 30 mph E wind whistling through. #11551503

This is definitely alien to my climate Katherine! A wonderful winter scene and capture, and I like the scale your son adds to this image! #11551654

John, it feels a bit alien to us as well, as the last 2 winters have been unusually warm. This year I even had daffodils blooming by Thanksgiving - about 2 months too early for them. I had 3 more blooming before this last dip into a week in the teens but didn't pick them-- covered them with buckets to see if the blossoms survive! #11551747

And yes, Harvey, it's basically home -- 40 min drive away just E of Portland. I love Oregon!!!! #11551748
