The gray days have continued and today there was only a brief hint of the sun behind the clouds as it rose above the tree tops.

This morning there was some faint sundogs around the sun created by the ice crystals in the air. Course the calves didn’t seem to care about the sky but only that I was delayed putting their feed out by taking the picture.

The temperatures were finally above zero, but there were still plenty of ice crystals in the sky to create a halo around the sun today.

The first day of February started out sunny and it was good to see the sun but the clouds came back and swallowed the sun once more.

The late December sun, when it appeared in the clearing skies, was very low to the horizon creating long shadows on the snow. At least soon the sun will start to climb higher in the sky again so that it will reach above the trees.

As the rain moved away in the late evening, the sun started to peek out of the clouds just before the sun’s descent approached its setting for the day.

The new snow was sparkling in the very crisp air this afternoon, even if it was warmer than the over night low of -22 (although it might have been colder but my digital thermometer only goes to -22). The snow squeaked when walking on it to do chores so I didn’t stay out long to take many pictures as the camera battery drained quickly in the cold but the snow covered tree caught my eye with the sun peeking out behind it.

Ahead of the snow, the wispy clouds rolled in yesterday to cover the afternoon sun.

Now that the Twelve Days of Christmas is over, I am ready for spring! The moon was out bright last night and would have been a perfect night to go walking except for one tiny fact that the wind chill was in the warning range and frost bite could occur in less than ten minutes. And I figured with my luck, I would trip on a limb under the snow and would freeze to death taking a walk through the woods. But then it isn’t much better walking in the cold sunshine as the temperatures haven’t improved much. There are some critters tracks in the snow but I won’t be adding my tracks today through the woods.
Update : Just after the sun set this evening, three deer came walking up through the trees in this area. They were bouncing and running around so I they don’t mind the cold as much as I do.

The rainy days have prevented me from getting many sunset pictures this summer, since if the sun manages to peek out, it is for a brief moment only.
