I stopped to capture a few pictures on my way to the medical center yesterday afternoon. I was feeling a little cranky about having to go in every day. It was cold. frigid. Chunks of ice were still clinging to the edges of the 8-inch-deep potholes in the road.
But views like this make me pause a moment.
Views like this make stepping out of the car to take in the environment so worth while.
It didn’t take very many shots before I was so cold I had to get back in the car (my arm is all bandaged up so it doesn’t fit in the sleeve of a coat – another story for another post). But, what a difference it made in my attitude.
There’s nothing like a little time with the camera to help me hit refresh.
This city is just not equipped to handle snow; everything shuts down and only major arterials are plowed. The accumulation this year is really out of the ordinary, and this weather has lasted longer than I remember as well.
We had to get out of the house yesterday, so we walked to the lake. The snow was deep enough that the one block hike was exhausting.
I was blown away by the number of birds in the water. I can always count on this spot for some bird watching, but not this many birds.
