A female Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep ( Ovis canadensis canadensis) looks up while I take her photo near the mouth of North Fork Canyon west of Cody, Wyoming. The sheep winter along the lower elevations of the Absaroka Mountains.
Winter arrives. At first, skinny and sparse. The first layer of ice is laid bare. Thin now, but, in time, it will hold the weight of the gathering crowd. And then, there will be hockey.
White Rock is an oceanfront city in British Columbia, Canada, and a member municipality of Metro Vancouver.
The modern history of White Rock is directly tied to the railway linking British Columbia to Washington state, which runs along the shore of Semiahmoo Bay to the border. The rail is currently owned by BNSF Railway and runs alongside the promenade at the beach. This was originally the Great Northern line, and it opened up White Rock and Crescent Beach to tourists from Vancouver and New Westminster in the early 1900s. The border crossing closest to White Rock (at Douglas, B.C., and Blaine, Washington) was officially opened in 1908, and the Peace Arch at the border crossing was constructed in the 1920s.
In 1913, the present railway station was opened, and the Fox and Hunter Shingle mill began operation.
White Rock has a moderate climate, with average daily high temperatures of 23 degrees Celsius in summer and 6 degrees Celsius in winter.
White Rock is named for a distinctive large white boulder on its beach near the promenade, a glacial erratic that migrated south during the last glaciation. The 486-ton granite boulder was kept white by shellfish-eating seabirds whose guano covered the rock, so much so that 19th-century sailors used it as a beacon. However, it is now kept white through monthly applications of white paint by the city parks department, and has been a popular graffiti target for over thirty years.
Legend.
The large, white rock is mentioned in the legends of the local Coast Salish peoples. One legend says that the white rock marks the landing spot of a stone that was hurled across the Strait of Georgia by a young chief It was said that he and his bride would move from Vancouver Island to wherever the rock landed to make a home together.

Thursday evenings snowstorm makes for a fine Friday morning chase of Wisconsin & Southern's Janesville bound freight T4H across the Waukesha Sub. Here we find the westbound clearing the rail head of the fresh powder just outside of North Prairie.

Winter 2018
As is often the case, winter only made a brief appearance this season.
In the picture the mountain beech forest on the summit of Erbeskopf, the highest elevation in Rhineland-Palatinate (archive image in black and white conversion).
Wie so oft gab der Winter in dieser Saison nur ein kurzes Gastpiel.
