Cold Mountain

After a lovely week of Christmas visits with family and friends, we returned to the mountains this morning for a long weekend.

 

There is some wintry weather predicted for this weekend, so Charlie, Kasey, and I took off on a Gator ride across the top of the mountain.

 

There was a small herd of deer grazing on this tree farm on the hillside.  You probably cannot see them in this photo.

 

 

I love the gnarly branches and twisted trees on the windy mountain tops.

 

 

 

 

The cold, barren winter landscape is a far cry from the riotous autumn hillsides of just a few weeks ago.

 

    I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help- Psalm 121
