January 2014 Scavenger Hunt: Colorado

I hope that everyone's New Year 
has gotten off to a great start!

Here are my photographs
for January's Scavenger Hunt. 

January's List

1.  J is for ?

Jigsaw puzzles, of course!
They're one of my favorite things to do on a cold January day!

2.  1:00 p.m.

One o'clock found me walking each day in the woods
along the Burro Trail on a long weekend in January ~
accompanied by Rufus (B) and Gracie (Y).
On this day we were watching skiers and snowboarders
sliding down a service road at 1:00 p.m.



3.  Measurement

There's nothing better on a cold January day
than a pot of baked beans made with molasses.

(Okay!  Shhshh!  Don't tell!  This pot was baked in January 2013!)

4.  Color

There is only one color that I could chose for January!
Broncos ORANGE !!!!!

GO BRONCOS!!!!!

5.  A Corner

Two Buds, Gracie (Y) and Rufus (B),

in their favorite corner of the kitchen.

6.  Hats

A Lovely Summer Day in Newfoundland,
Hats Required!
My Sister Barb and the Ever-Patient Terry

We're barely into our hike to the Tablelands,
and Barb and the E-P (and Me!)
are already soaked!

7.  A Stamp

Canadian Stamps, 1960

8.  Looking Down

Oh the snarls we three get into ~ 
Trying to hold 165 pounds of lovable labs with one hand
and shoot a " Looking Down" picture with the other!
(Leashes and Camera Strap)

9.  Crowd

Early in January I heard a racket out in the field.

When I pulled back the curtains,

I saw a crowd of Canadians 

hunkered down to feed

on a cold, snowy day.

Misery loves company came to mind!

The tiny, dry snowflakes fluttered down,

almost invisible except against the bodies of the geese. 

I was hunkered down too,

under an afghan in front of the fire

sipping hot coffee and enjoying a good book.

10.  Natural

The Natural Beauty of a Winter Morning

 Snowy Branches as the Sun Comes Up
