Skiing
Last week I was in Colorado skiing with a group of wrinklers.
We had a fine time! A good early season warmup.

One Mile Bay has been frozen for about a week now. We’ve also had some snow.
It will be this way until April.

The water in One Mile Bay is close to freezing.
Another few days of open water.
And then the ice won’t leave until mid-April.

The Great Wall gets all the publicity and rightly so. For different reasons the City Wall in Xi’an, is pretty impressive as well.

Pedicabs
The Xi’an City Wall surrounds the old city. It is possible to walk, cycle or take a pedicab around the top of it.
More to see than the Terra Cotta Warriors.

Ugly stuff looks better with a coating of frost crystals.
Delicately brutal.

Moment In Time
Delicate frost crystals formed overnight only to disappear shortly after sunrise.
The leaf is gone now. This is the only memory. It will never be repeated.
Ever.
