Snow field
Since snow—fairly serious snow—was not in last night's forecast, I had to admit to considerable surprise when I looked out the kitchen window this morning at a bit more than an inch of dry powder and the sky filled with the stuff. In the end, there wasn't enough to require getting out the shovels, and there wasn't, alas, enough to go on this season's maiden cross-country ski jaunt, even on the lawn, where a mere three inches is plenty for skiing. So, after getting the stove going, eating breakfast, and making coffee, I went out for the usual walk, the all-weather Fuji as my camera du jour. It was more than up to the task of capturing a bona fide snow, the first, I suspect, of many.
