On top of the world

Borjomi is so close to Bakuriani, why not?

This time little guy whet his miniature skis on the slopes.

I will soon have skied more in Georgia than I ever did in my former life...

...which is all a part of this guy's master plan.

On the drive home we witnessed a rare meterological phenomenon called snow rollers -- naturally occurring snowballs which, in this case, roll themselves down the mountainside.

Some of them had near perfect spirals in their interiors.

They are the combined result of a wet sticky surface layer of snow, thick powdery snow underneath, and the pull of gravity.

After a great trip we returned home to celebrate a birthday.

Three sweet little candles . . .

. . . were clearly not enough. Go big or go home.
