25 December was a pretty day here in SW Oklahoma, but very cold with a biting wind. We drove to the Wichita Mountains, and to the top of Mount Scott, about an hour from home. (Left: Casey The Dog - we kept an eye on her just before Christmas while husband's son and family went to ski in Colorado. She tried to make friends with Clarence, my Christmas Crinkle, but he was having none of it.)
First 4 photos from top Mt. Scott, and on the way down - I took them from the car window, too wimpish to get out into the even more biting wind up there. We then drove through the Wildlife Refuge, but buffalo and longhorn cattle were hiding from us this time. We saw not one sign of life there, so repaired to a little lake in the nearby town. Ate our sandwiches with ducks, goose and gulls looking on.

Two pics of wee Serenity at the family get-together on Christmas Eve follow, the second is from camera of husband's daughter. Serenity is my husband's great-grandaughter, born January 2010.
And Casey - again.
AND an inherited flair for hat-wearing: Great-grandad and Serenity
