Jan Siemucha shared these wintery photos from rural Hecla. “Most of my photos are shot around the Hecla area when I am out with my dog, Sadie,” Siemucha says. “We both enjoy the outdoors. It gives the two of us some quiet time, taking in the beauty of what natures provides for us to see each and every day. Sadie just turned 13 and is heading for 14, so our time out in the country is very special.” Siemucha is retired and enjoys photography as a hobby.
