Winter Wonderland

This year snow came late but then, there was so much snow in 'Winter Wonderland', that Joy could even play on the balcony:

We rented the same apartment as two years ago and Joy remembered the place immediately running to and fro with a wagging tale and a smiling face. She also recognised her Setter friend of course, once owner of a dog from Susan's A-litter.

It looked, as if the path was prepared just for us - "This way, Joy":

But being Switzerland, there were restaurants and hotels further up the hill, that the owners tried to keep open all year - with quite a bit of effort:

We did not hike all the way up - the snow was soft and the difference of 800 meters in altitude too much for an afternoon stroll :-).

We simply en'Joy'ed the snow:

Whilest others, like number 3139 enjoying a bit of sun - when I was younger, they were called Lisa, Rosi or Heidi:

This was 'our' village for the week, the last one in the valley of the river Rhone - with 100km prepared tracks, this area is a paradise for cross country skiers!

And a b&w encore (click):

Whishing you all a very Happy New Year!!

Comment by Susan Stone on January 7, 2012 at 3:27am: Ah, so Baumanns still love setters:-)) Great photos of your holidays - but a good thing you are not up there now as I think you would be well and truly stuck there! And the snow storms were so fierce you'd not even send a dog out to pee....

I love the b&w!
