Winter snaps
Here in the Seattle area, we don't normally get much snow...a few times a year we get 2-3 days worth of the white stuff. This last week +, we've had our fair share and I have so say...I'm done. It's pretty, it's fun to make snow people (or a snow octopus, like my neighbors), but driving around and shoveling the driveway to rescue your stuck car just isn't what it's cracked up to be. Plus, our X-mas plans are pretty well canceled...it's too difficult to navigate the icy roads with all the hills and back roads.
I have been taking some pictures, though, playing with my Canon G9, so that I don't lose my sanity in being cooped up in the house.
We've had a good 6-10 inches of snow since these were taken last week. These pictures look so...dainty, now.

I'm kinda in love with blue sky, probably because we don't see it much in Seattle:
