| Naggiar Vineyard next door | 
Um, no?  We're having a real winter this year - 20 days of rain in December, and now our typical foggy and cold January.  A week ago I woke up to a 25 degree morning (yes in California), and as much as I wanted to snuggle back down into my polar fleece sheets, I knew there was a winter wonderland waiting outside for me to photograph.  Time is of the essence, not only to get the light right, but because I still need to ride horses and give lessons.  So, I went out and made some quick rounds, and here are some of the images I came up with, both on that brrrrrr cold day, and on some recent foggy days as well.  Remember that you can click on each image to see a larger version.

| It doesn't take one whack with the hammer to break the ice......... | 
|  | 
| ...it takes two so the horses can drink! | 
|  | 
| Even the pigeons were hunkered down! |

| Eerie barn aisle |

| Foggy dew collecting on Maverick's eyelashes | 
|  | 
| And steam coming off of him after a ride | 
|  | 
| Then a fun turnout in the fog - wheee! |
