The day after Thanksgiving found me making images at a riverside cabin just down the hill from our place. Grandparents own the cabin and this holiday they were joined by all of their far-flung family. Their kids and grandchildren came from Washington, Idaho and California to share in the holiday joy and snow of the Methow Valley.

This cabin is such a great place for grandkids! Oh my gosh, I can just imagine the fun they will have as they grow older and learn about the river and its wildlife and explore the aspen grove and spend nights in the big wall tent listening to the water go by.

With all of us in the post-turkey haze of contentment and good feeling, it was invigorating to be out in the gently falling snow.

Many thanks to Debbie and George for sharing this place and their family with me.
