Good Morning!

So, it snowed again this week. A few times, actually. It’s probably snowing now.

Oh, man, this week was a roller-coaster, weather-wise.

On Wednesday, it started getting “nice” (for this time of year, that means above-freezing).  When I took my morning walk, there was some frost on the leaves, but the ice was melting.

Okay, so the theme I assigned for myself this week was “Winter Beauty.” This is the time of the year where winter really starts to drag; the snow is dirty and crusty, the skies are dull, cabin fever sets in.

The assignment ended up being difficult because of all of the above and because it was so dang cold that I couldn’t really go out much except for last weekend, and that’s when these shots are from.

On the other hand, it was easy to create photos exemplifying “Winter Bleakness” (note how the sky is the same color as the ground):
