Photo of the Week – December 11, 2023

December Snow in the Ozarks

In preparation of typical winter weather (can we avoid it?), here’s one of the original OSS classics, from the winter of 1999, I think.  Let’s think sun and Spring instead!

From the Ozarks Scenes and Seasons collection

Bonus December Photo:  This is not a quality photo (moon appears full, instead of very waxing crescent, e.g.), but I noticed this on my walk this morning (Dec 10), and something about the scene struck me.  I went inside for my cell phone, and the cold (and distance) made it hard to focus.  Can’t pinpoint exactly what I like, but . . .  (I think the star above is actually the planet Venus – very bright and is regularly there lately – but I certainly could be wrong.) ANYWAY . . December morning near Christmas.
