SNOW -- well on the Mountain anyway

We keep hearing about the early winter, there in the States .. the snow .. the blizzards .. and the freezing temps. Well, we didn't want you all to feel that we were being left out of all that winter frolic .... so thought we would share a little piece of OUR winter, here in Sunny Sicily.
Now, this is Mt Etna, the most active volcano in all of Europe, and it looms over us ... beconing us to venture closer .. to experience it's little touch of a winter wonderland. Notice that little bit of snow ..... right there at the top ... well, squint real hard and you surely can see it ...


Now, there is another side to Etna ... one that can't readily be seen during the day, from this far away .... and that is the volcanic activity which is constantly taking place. We didn't take this particular pic ... but it does show what things look like close up.

So, enjoy your winter - and know that we too have a bit of Old Jack Frost, nipping at our heels.
