“Anything you want”

This week at snowbird Utah USA “Anything you want” That's the way I would describe this week at the Bird.There were
events organized to celebrate the Holidays. Activities for the
children and the older young at heart.
Santa events handing out candy to the joyful,mesmerized and
imaginative children. There was hot chocolate handed out around
fire pits blazing on the plaza deck.

There was a cowboy meet and greet with humor roping and
cowboy frivolity there was even a meet and greet for the
Avalanche dogs as well as many other winter warming events

My favorite event as observed from an artist's perspective was
the New Year eve torchlight parade. In the black of night I stood
quite a distance away from the plazas activities so the parade
was viewed in silence. The procession of skiers winding down
the slope carrying lit torches I can best describe as a peaceful
and tranquil scene. The event was concluded with a fireworks
display adding much to the delight of the children and those party
revelers more so than I. This week there was new snow from the snow making machines.
Enough snow to spruce up the ski runs. The natural snow on the
slopes is about the same as the previous week.
My concluding take on the week is that it has been a good week
to take a respite from a way to fast and busy year. A time to reflect
on this years accomplishments and a time to ponder the coming
years desired goals and a time to compose new
paintings.
