Record Cold in Copper Country


Beginnings

Beginnings

 It started out like the infrequent snow storms we have most winters- just a dusting. We were keeping up pretty well. But the predictions were for record temps and snowfall . . . and this time they were right.

 The snow is here to stay, one full week later. The keeper has been the temperatures in the 20’s and 30’s as a daily high. Those are NOT our normal temperatures.

Even as the snow slowly melts, it leaves imprints of wonder and inspiration behind. This is a glass project waiting to happen!

Path in snow to shop.

Path-Where

The first path forged in the snow was to the shop. Who wouldn’t want to work and be creative in this solitude?!

I know this white stuff isn’t always such a picturesque wonder for others, but in this desert, an unusual experience like this just leaves me in awe and waking up at night with more ideas for projects.

How has the winter weather affected your creative muse? Are you photographing your inspirations or just holding them in your memory banks?
