A light snow fell throughout the day - painting the landscape a lovely shade of winter-white.

I'm trying to get back into my routine after enjoying a truly relaxing Thanksgiving holiday. I didn't make it out for a walk this morning, so I decided to bring my camera along when I ran out to pick my daughter up from track practice. I wasn't disappointed. I stopped along Big Hollow to capture this nearly full moon rising brightly in the early evening sky.

I opted for an afternoon walk when I saw the temp was only 21 degrees this morning. I wasn't disappointed. The bright sun inched the temp up to the mid forties and cast lovely long shadows on the road before me.

Not so long ago I captured this field when it was filled with vibrant buttercups...

I awoke to heavy rain and plummeting temperatures. The thermometer read 41 degrees when I sat down to breakfast and within an hour's time it had dropped to 33. I ventured only as far our front porch to capture the rain changing from sleet to gigantic snowflakes against the backdrop of our driveway.
