First Flakes

Travelling to Long Prairie, MN for a couple of days on business. Fortunately, I checked the weather before departure - got snow over night, and snowing hard today. Those first flakes always trigger such a primal response in me.

At-heart, I'm a winter animal. While I enjoy summer, something about that cool snap in the air hints at skiing fresh powder, pushing a snowy sorghum field for December pheasants, or standing alone in a slushy river bottom bouncing for steelhead. Some of my favorites. Can't wait.

Drove past a Pheasants Forever preserve on the way in this morning. Made me want to boot up and go for a stroll!
