Early December brought a light snowfall to the hills of Portland.

The next day brought some sunshine highlighting the bright white of the snow-covered tree branches and underbrush.

I enjoyed the beauty of the scenery, especially the Cascade volcanos covered with fresh snow dominating the view over the city below.

Due to the warm sunshine, the snow on the hills was gone in a day. Soon we will have more to enjoy.
