First Snow

By Elizabeth Enslin on October 27, 2009

Woke to our first snow of the season this morning.  It melted quickly, but the remnants of storms passing through made for some amazing light.

About Elizabeth Enslin

A writer based in Oregon, I look for inspiration and distractions in nature. An anthropologist, I ponder the places where nature and culture meet. A kitchen gardener, I promote biodiversity and learn from farming traditions around the world. A recovering academic, I try to do all with compassion and humor.
