Or perhaps warm and cool depending on your perspective.
A rising sun gives warmth to the day even when it cold outside.

Bone Dry
Starting out on foot on a trail we would usually be cross country skiing at this time of year. Needless to say that while the mountain tops are indeed covered in snow things below are still bone dry. Nonetheless it was a nice hike as that harsh and contrasty solstice light provided just enough warmth to keep us marching along.
Big views of distant peaks and a canyon where the Yellowstone river flows.
Dry grass and a rock lined ridge pointed the way as a late morning start quickly dissolved into afternoon.
Long shadows on a short day as we wound are way back home.
Bone dry but we hope that all changes soon.
A december day
On this day clouds were oftens thick and at other times just filled the sky. A splash of color always present and a December mood, a special mood, filled the air.
A December mood, a quiet mood,a special mood was there.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Color, ravens and light.
Soaking up color on a typical November day. Cloudy skies gave way to intermittent beams of sunlight filtering through the forest. Warm layers on when the breeze blew and of when the wind was calm.
A Raven called and flew overhead and in the distance they touched down.
Gray trees cast a shadow on white-white stone as the sunlight filtered through.
Color, a raven and light kept things warm on this November day.
Happy Friday and have a wonderful weekend.
At Sunset
Putting another day to bed while taking a long look at what felt like a very short sunset. Now the lakes are frozen over and sunset comes all too soon yet each day brings something special. Looking back as a way of looking forward to today.
In sand and sky.
Rabbit brush blooming in a sea of sage and sandstone.
On a trail free of footprints.
Solitude found in sand and sky.
Queen of the wash
Time laid bare as layers of rock on the mountain behind and an old skeleton of Juniper lies on the rocks below.
Oh Humbug
Evening approaches at a place they call Humbug point.
Not sure why they named it this as there was nothing to be Humbug about.
Earth and sky.
Earth and sky and earth and sky as far as the eye can see.
Above the canyon rim.
Peeking out of a small slot canyon as the sun begins its daily decline. Soft clouds, juniper and rocks above as another day comes to a close.
