Friday morning, I woke up to this.
I had spent Tuesday and Wednesday at home; it was the first time in probably ten years I've called in sick two days in a row.
I snapped these two pictures at about 7:30 anticipating shooting several more along the greenbelt not too far away from our house where I was certain the snow would be even more pristine.
Alas, when I got home Friday evening, it had all melted away. In fact, were it not for these few pictures, I surely would have thought this January surprise to be a product of my fever-induced imagination.
