Description I was digging through my old photo files looking for some reference photos when I came across this, from several years ago.  Overnight the temperature had dropped to around 20F below zero  and there had been a light snowfall...somehow the combination left a dusting of these perfect snowflakes everywhere.  No real reason for sharing this; I just thought it was pretty cool!

This is really a lovely capture.  It looks magical.  Although I know that cold a temperature makes a person wish for magic!

I hate winter!  It is always so dark and dreary here and it seems to last forever!  Thought it was over and then we got that crazy "Spring Blizzard" a few days ago.

I don't mind a little snow here and there...but these endless grey days are hard on the morale.

Yes, they are.  I even have a lamp I use in the winter that is supposed to combat that Seasonal Affective Disorder.  I can't really tell.

It seemed to help at first but then I discovered a med I was taking for high blood pressure had side effects of depression, anxiety, and sleeplessness.  So I got off of them, lost 10 pounds and am working out daily on a treadmill.  Saw the Dr on the 9th and she said I didn't "need" them any more.   I had quit taking them on the 9th of March, got a cuff and started keeping track of my blood pressure 3 times a day.   But it wouldn't have mattered.  I won't take them again.  Any med that causes depression is BS! 


If the "cure" is as dangerous in a different way as the problem, I will take the problem.

This is the one I got, if you mean about the lamp.

 It is a little over a foot tall.  Maybe a foot and a half and very bright with 3 touch settings on the back.  I really like how it looks.  A very aesthetically pleasing design with a bit of an oriental feel to it.

It, or something like it, might make a good studio light.

Yes, it would.

By the way found the 2nd half of the Carson interview with Robin Williams, that I also had never seen.

I love that he could make Carson lose it.

Silly me. I apparently waited until I could show this one to my daughter before I commented. Thank you for sharing this gorgeous shot.

Thank you!  I have moved since then and I doubt that it will ever get that cold where I live now...for which I am thankful.

It doesn't happen often, but when it does it's pretty memorable!
