With December's arrival, I had to admit that it's really winter. The temperatures outside are doing their best to convince me too. So I changed my blog background accordingly. That's an elk laying in the snow. It's also called a wapiti by Native Americans and is a little different than the European elk, but still a member of the deer family.

   As always, my profile pics are my own paintings, unless they are photos of my widdle guinea pig, Rufus.
