Nice shot. Was that taken recently?

Yesterday.

How is that stream able to stay
open? Is it a spring creek? "Everything" in Colorado is frozen over
already.

Global warming? :-)

It's a fairly typical freestone creek.

There's a fair amount of snow on the other side of Galena Summit, which
separates the Sawtooth Basin (where Stanley is) from the Wood River
Valley (where Ketchum and Sun Valley are). Unfortunately, there's not
much snow here in the basin, so I've been going "over the hill" (as we
say) to ski. There are a number of storms headed our way and it's been
snowing all night, so I'm hopeful for later in the year. However, the
weather in the Lake Tahoe area is so far keeping me from returning to
California for Christmas.
