January 26....a photo a day....

Saved some for today . There were plenty on yesterday's post... sometimes too much is just...well, ... too much. Perfume, make-up, jewellery, decor or whatever ... too much of a good thing can totally ruin the presentation. Always leave them wanting more, as they say..... whoever "they" is......

Standing on the trail looking towards the river; all of a sudden the blinding sun flashed between some pine branches... had to try a shot directly into the sun.... it worked well.


























winterscape.....

look up......waaaaaay up....blue sky as far as the eye could see.....













... driving back we circled off highway through a little "hamlet" called Bragg Creek. It says hamlet right there on the sign... That does it...I'm off to Google hamlet versus village, town or whatever else they call a small group of residents. Okay.....I'm back with the straight goods.... :::::according to Wik... A hamlet is (usually) a rural community — that is, a small settlement — which is too small to be considered a village. So, now I know. Anyway...there are a lot of artists and artisans living in this particular hamlet and area.....some of them sell their works in the small shopping center. We hadn't planned to stop there or to shop today, so just carried on with our driving and countryside viewing.
I was hoping for a deer or two...but, today they weren't around...........................










Looks like a snowstorm! hahahha.... didn't notice the speckles on that window til I took a pic with the window up! Little general store....

homeward bound .....











on the drifted side of the road all that was showing was the top few inches of the fence posts...











here's the other side.... and a herd of shredded wheat.....











oh, alright.... they are just jumbo bales of hay...but, I like to call them shredded wheat ..

and, now... your reward for wading through all the snow...











.... mmmmm... Chocolate Cherry Muffins. Hey! if you live close enough, pop over for tea and a "baddie"...if not... give the recipe a try. First time I've actually made chocolate muffins; it certainly won't be the last! these guys are pretty yummy. I even put chocolate icing on a few..... because they are taking the place of somebody's chocolate cake for now. I'll do a cake in a month or so....just because it's still too close to Carrot Cake day....
