In Three Rivers, February has the capability of bringing snow or wildflowers or both. It has long been my favorite month for weather.

The morning after it snowed, several hundred feet in elevation above my home and studio. . . I had to walk a couple of miles to see snow sticking on the ground.

That afternoon was COLD. I had the heater roaring in the painting studio, and kept poking my camera out the door.

The snow rarely lasts into the afternoon, but this time it was different.

The late afternoon sunlight was beautiful. Snow in Three Rivers is beautiful. February is beautiful.
