Today was a great day to get out and photograph, the first such day off I've had in quite awhile. There is still a lot of snow on the ground. Along with the gray skies, it really makes the whole countryside seem incredibly bleak and lonesome.

I rephotographed a few places that have now become very familiar, just trying to get exactly what I want while the snow is still around and the mood is right. The image above is one I've taken before but had never quite been happy with. It's a farmstead along old Linwood Road, halfway between Morse Bluff and Linwood in northwest Saunders County.
