When I finally got through editing and processing my images from the Winter Mountain Magic Photography Tour, I found it really difficult to narrow down my favorites but eventually I did. Looking back at all my images from the tour it’s already hard to think of winter since we are currently getting temperatures on the plus side of 0° C and most of the snow around here has disappeared. Here are my favorite images from the tour. – Leslie

Little did we know we were being watched from above, as I didn’t see the three Mountain Goats until I got back home and was editing my images. They are in the upper left corner of the above image, cropped view below.
