Stratton Window

The inn we stayed in at Stratton Mountain in Vermont had a large, tall window in the cozy room with the fireplace. My daughter and I had fun hanging out in this room. You may see that rug again for Ruby Tuesday (if I’m not too crazed with work on a Monday). I took these shots with my daughter’s Canon Power Shot Elph – the quality isn’t as good as that of my old, larger Power Shot, but the camera is a great, flat size. Good enough to share.

Sky at Stratton, Vermont

This is the sky early Monday morning at the bottom of Stratton Mountain in Vermont. At the top, it was about -30°F – frigid, frost-bite weather.

Here you can see some of the Stratton Mountain condos.

In the top photo, do you see the large, black bird swooping by? The bird (is it a hawk?) swooped and swooped all around, but I only managed to capture him in that one photo before he flew away. I wonder why this bird chose to stay in cold Vermont?

Thursday Challenge: COLD

Stratton Mountain, Vermont
We had a nice time skiing at Stratton Mountain in Vermont. Today it was about 40 degrees warmer than it was on Monday, and it was about 34° today. I snapped this picture with my daughter’s Canon PowerShot Elph, and believe me, when you are up there on the mountain, you just snap and look to see what you’ve got much later.

Today’s Thursday Challenge is COLD. Next Week: RED (Fruit, Vegetables, Flowers, Clothing, Hair, Makeup, Wine, Toys,…)
