Fellow Extravaganzers:
Finally finding a few Montana moments alone with pics in hand, I thought you might enjoy the attached visages of winter here on Rock Creek. Shown first is Extravaganza Headquarters, where the space between buildings is sufficiently iced over to hold a mini-scale curling match; riverside, the ice overhang that arrives each winter is beginning to recede as untimely temperatures in the mid-50's are putting winter's snow to rest. Compare by way of example pictures posted on last year's Extravaganza blogsite taken this same time of the year (when snow was several feet, not inches, thick in the backyard) and you can see very dramatic difference that a year makes.
Winter for me is a special time to spend in these parts, as everything has a certain quietude to it--wildlife is scarce but for the bands of whitetail deer that abound; the air is crisp and sharp and yet heavy with little noise; and humankind is seldom to be found out this far up Rock Creek, making the setting even more special in its natural silence---hmm, maybe that's the way it was all really meant to be!!
Enjoy!
