If you’ve been reading the Gazette for a while, you know I love winter. My mom’s photo archives include lots of pictures of me playing outside in the snow at our house in Old Mission.
I still love to play in the snow, whether I’m moving firewood from one place to another, snowshoeing the trail on the north end, or just driving around the OMP taking pictures. Here are a few photos from the past week, including the first Snowy Owl I’ve seen this winter — on Eimen Road.

And yes, I will work on getting some of these available to buy in the OMP Store, along with the photos in the 2025 calendar! After I hit Send on the Gazette email newsletter later today, I plan to spend tomorrow working on store stuff.

SUPPORT YOUR INDEPENDENT LOCAL NEWSPAPER: I started Old Mission Gazette in 2015 because I felt a calling to provide the Old Mission Peninsula community with local news. After decades of writing for newspapers and magazines like the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Family Circle and Ladies' Home Journal, I really just wanted to write about my own community where I grew up on a cherry farm and raised my own family. So I started my own newspaper.
Because Old Mission Gazette is a "Reader Supported Newspaper" -- meaning it exists because of your financial support -- I hope you'll consider tossing a few bucks our way if I mention your event, your business, your organization or your news item, or if you simply love reading about what's happening on the OMP. In a time when local news is becoming a thing of the past, supporting an independent community newspaper is more important now than ever. Thank you so much for your support! -Jane Boursaw, Editor/Publisher, Old Mission Gazette

Love your pictures Jane, especially the Snowy Owl and Winter on Bluff Road
Thanks, Janis! You know, I saw that owl for several days whenever I drove by Eimen Road, and then suddenly he was gone and I haven’t seen him since. Maybe he knew the weather was going to be warming up and decided to hit the road (or rather, air) to colder lands.
Wonderful snow pictures. How beautiful is all the snow.
