Winter Isn't All Bad

I just downloaded a whole slew of pix onto the computer from our cameras and came across one that I took yesterday while we were out snow shoeing. This one is my favorite of all the pix I took yesterday. I love it because it's beautiful, and even moreso because until just now, I couldn't see the image I was shooting. I was staring into the sun and wanted a picture of the snow shoe tracks going up our field. Well, this is what I got.

Sometimes It's Warm Here

Earlier this week, my dear friend Sarah sent some wonderful pix of her daughter at a park. Her daughter looked beautiful, the park was so nice - green, warm, so colorful with flowers in bloom.

The problem: it was green, warm, so colorful with flowers in bloom. In February.

I just can't imagine that flowers could be blooming, people could be wearing shortsleeves and playing at a park this time of year.

So, instead of looking out my window at one of the snowiest winters on record, I decided to search my pc for some warm weather of my own.

So, I won't feel sad that it's winter (I'm not. I live in New England. We have winter every year at about this same time - funny how that works), I will enjoy this season and all it has to offer (skiing, snowshoeing, running, beautiful snowy scenery), but look forward to some green grass, flowers, warm sunshine and the joys of summer. It'll get here - probably in about 4 months.
