Dawn at the Campground, Ghost Ranch, Abiquiu NM, December 24, 2009
This 4 inches is more snow than I've seen since I took up this fulltiming life a few years back and it energized me to get out early with the camera. I could hardly wait for the sun to lighten the sky enough to fling photons at the camera. Kate & Terry and I spent the morning out and about taking pictures of this magical world. I set up a Ghost Ranch Series over in Photography to hang a few favorites of the nearly 500 images I shot today.
You'll find Kate's favorites at her blog, Kate and Terry-Travels in Cholula Red. Terry's blog is at Terry McM - Pictures while traveling in New Mexico.

Messing Up Their Results
... Jack Panksepp found that laboratory-reared rats who've never seen or smelled a cat stop playing the instant you put a tuft of cat hair in their play space. Since frightened animals don't play, that's a good indication that those rats are afraid. ... This experience got Dr Panksepp to thinking about how many research laboratories might be messing up their results due to researchers' coming to work smelling like their pet cats.
