Blessed with a chilly but sunny day here in the Midwest...the calm before the next snowstorm.

Got out with the hubby and camera today. Here's a couple of shots from our afternoon out.

Hallelujah! The weather's slightly warmer and we can get back outside some without looking like a Stay-Puff marshmallow man in our coats... This is a new technique I'm trying on some portraits I've recently done...I really like the look.

It's been way too long since I posted a message. So sorry.

Have been nearly snowed in here in the mid-west and we're enjoying our 2nd full week of near zero temperatures and wind chills near -20. There's just something wrong when Missoula, Montana is warmer than Kansas City! Nearly 20 inches of snow on the ground isn't helping.

The fascination of a proverbial winter wonderland and the anticipation of playing outside in it is wearing a little thin.

City services only plowed our subdivision a couple of times but it still requires my 4-wheel drive to maneuver to the main road. But, I whine too much...in no time it will be August and

over 100 degrees. Then I'll be wishing it were cool again.

This is a photo I took on Christmas Eve of frost on a very cold glass window.
