Snow and ice - why would Manitobans want to take pictures of snow and ice? We were asked such a question when one of the family was looking at the pictures that we took on our trip to Texas. Snow & ice are not so strange to us but finding it where these pictures were taken was unexpected. This herd of cattle were grazing on a north central Kansas field. The trees were delicately trimmed in ice as well as the grass and the snow likely had an icy crust. Thankfully the roads were as dry "as a bone".
One of the points of taking these pictures was to capture the beauty of the ice covered trees in the sunshine. I do not think that this goal was achieved.
We left Lincoln, NE right after breakfast Dec. 18Th. there was snow on the ground but the roads were very dry. It had been well below freezing when we left Winnipeg and remained that way until we were in the southern part of Kansas.
We reached Dallas by 8:30 or so in the evening - it wasn't too difficult to negotiate the super highway system and eventually find Ruth's apartment according to the directions from Google.
We were happy to spend the remainder of the evening relaxing with Ruth and planning our sight seeing for the next day.

I doubt that it is that uncommon to see cows in a snowy pasture, but the frozen ice isn't too normal for us. I imagine that ice is very common in KS and OK. I think I heard that Dallas even had snow this winter. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Didn't that last sentence have a pleasing sound?
Yeah, animal-lover saved this one too! I like the contrast of the black cow with his winter coat against the iced foliage.
