At first I thought that first one was an impressionist painting until I saw the duck! lol Sorry to hear about having to shovel snow, I always hated that, par to of the reason I moved to California in the first place! lol
Beautiful shots you found there, did you try out the Horse Thief?
We didn't, maybe next time. Someday I'll have to move further south, but probably not lol. Thanks and have a great weekend!
