SEARCHING FOR WINTER


A cancer journey has greatly interrupted my photography experiences.
Daily breast cancer treatments curtailed my outings, and frankly, my interest too.
The magic came together one Saturday in October with cold, plus sun, the treatment-free day, and the availability of photo buddy, Pat.
Up to the Pass we went, hoping for fall colors to still be brightening the mountainsides.


 Better almost than "colors" was the frost, tightening,
lightening the underbrush.


I love how heavy frost embosses the leaf veins, and webs.



Not much color left - we were too late for that - but a single shot of gold on the banks of Lake Keechelus caught our attention.  

Our destination: Gold Creek pond:

Frozen fog hovered low:


 Very tired, dried-up fireweed was a catch-all for frozen webs:
