It's hard to believe that I took this photo almost exactly a year ago, when we had more than three feet of snow on the ground and temperatures were topping out near -15F. I remember that the only wildlife I could find that day was a herd of bull bison trudging through the deep snow. It was so cold, that steam was rising from the bull's body and his breath was freezing on his fur, making him look almost otherworldly.....like a ghostly apparition possessed by the true spirit of winter.
