Fun Friday: Where is Spring?

By Jim | Published February 20, 2015




With temperatures in the Midwest dipping so low, I thought a cute, winter image would be appropriate for this week’s “Fun Friday” post: This image was captured in beautiful Yellowstone NP, in the middle of winter.

Yellowstone’s Winter Wonderland

By Jim | Published January 8, 2014
