I generally look forward to new snow which offers an oasis of photographic opportunities during the otherwise bleak winter months. With today’s accumulation of another half foot, however, I may have reached my limit. I was unusually busy at work today and did not leave the office until 7:30 pm. This worked to my advantage as the rush hour was over and plows had largely done their work. On the other hand, I was thoroughly exhausted and dreading the prospect of clearing the driveway when I arrived at home. As the house came into view I was thrilled to see that Jeanine had already finished most of the work. I must remember to surprise her with an equally nice gift. Having missed an opportunity for a photo earlier in the day, I decided to make this still life.
