Thankfully, today's forecast verified, with clear skies prevailing for most of the day. The few minutes around sunrise and sunset provided the best lighting. I'm as ready for spring as anybody, but sights like these are really amazing, and make winter easier to appreciate. These are the kind of scenes where I'm actually disappointed in a camera's inability to capture the full glory of them as my eyes are seeing it. The thumbnails below link to the gallery page for this event, which also includes the rest of the photos from yesterday.
