Winter Wonderland


     A light snow dusting accents an already beautiful landscape. The Red Hills rarely enjoys a deep blanket of snow but whatever graces the land is appreciated. Even a light white blanket gives a nice contrasting perspective. While more precipitation is hoped for by the rangeland, wildlife and ranchers, every little amount helps to replenish soil moisture going into spring regrowth. 



A quiet sunset helps paint beauty in the waning hour of daylight.

A Great Blue Heron guards his pond at dusk.


The Red Hills seems at its best when highlighted by snow.


A drive through the Red Hills in winter is especially fulfilling.


Cattle and ranchers keep right on grazing and working through the winter months.


Ranchers and most prairie wildlife would prefer no trees
on the rangeland; but, they can provide some variety to landscape pictures.

A ride on the Gyp Hills Scenic Byway west of
Medicine Lodge can be a winter delight.
