Barren and Desolate

A bit of snow ushers in the beauty of winter to the Wyoming’s empty spaces. What may seem as barren and desolate to some, the mountains are delightful and inviting to me.

Above, this image was captured on Thanksgiving week a year ago (2022) at The Farm at Brush Creek Ranch in Wyoming. Below is looking down from a mountainside trail into the valley of the Laramie Regional Airport.

Lastly, one final shot from Brush Creek Ranch.

It’s beginning to look (and feel) a lot like winter!
