CHRISTMAS ON LAKE RALPHINE

          It was too nice of a day not to play hooky from the daily chores around my little ranch. Photography equipment in the pickup truck off I went without a backward glance and no where in particular for a destination.  Highway 12 into the foothills and found myself at Lake Ralphine.

          Bundled into a sweater, it was not cold enough for a winter coat today although there was still the bite of winter in the air.  Today I had the lake to myself.
