Last week I mentioned that I was going to try and get out of the city and find something besides the parks and rivers in town to take pictures of. It didn’t go as well as I’d planned because there was just too much ice built up on the sides of the roads to pull over but we did manage to snap a few shots:

I was wide awake at 5:30 a.m. this morning and after checking the temperature decided it was warm enough (-3C) to head out and see if I could capture a sunrise shot or two. This is one of the better ones:

Funny thing is, out of all the times I’ve taken pictures of the cemetery from this vantage point, I’ve never noticed the little church there before. I guess it’s because I’m usually doing lake shots from this side in the summer, and everything is pretty much hidden by the leaves.

More snowy goodness for you today. I always fret a bit wondering if I’ll have something that works for the Thursday Photo Challenge, so I was pleasantly surprised when today’s theme turned out to be winter. I got lots of winter pictures (as you’re probably sick of seeing by now). These are from the tail-end of my two hour walk last week. I haven’t even made it out of the house yet this week. :)

Have a wonderful day!

PS… I have a ton of work to get done this afternoon, so please forgive me if I’m late making the rounds to comment on your post. I will get there… I love y’all too much to miss out. :)
