Winter, in many parts of the country a nasty word, but here in Arizona welcomed relief from the summer heat and a time of year when many wonderful photographic opportunities present themselves. I was fortunate enough to find myself in the Eastern Sierras and Lake Tahoe not once but twice thus far this winter, as well as Carmel, Santa Barbara, and let's not forget Arizona. This gallery is a collection of some of the more memorable moments encountered thus far...enjoy!
