Guess what....

More snow pictures! At least something good is coming of this.....

We took a walk, but the walk was aborted halfway [there's no law against that yet], so I didn't get quite as many pictures as I could've. As it is, I got nearly a hundred. The selection of thumbnails at the top of this post is random, and everything after this is a [very large] selection of things that I thought were worth actually posting. I'll try to thumbnail as many of them as I possibly can.

We entered the realm of not-dialup-friendly ages ago, though, didn't we?

Anyway, on with the snow....

DSC02086

The drift out front has gotten a bit driftier.

DSC02087

I thought it was an interesting pattern.

DSC02088

More of the same, I guess. The visible ground and the snow covering stuff. It looks an awful lot like a shot I got yesterday.

DSC02091

The snow is actually a little deeper than cars at some points.

DSC02092

It took a minute to find the bike path, which, as it turns out, was stupid, because the actual street in the opposite direction had been scraped a few times. It's just that nobody can get through here because a bunch of people abandoned their cars....

DSC02093

This car is actually in a driveway. Good for it.

I'm not really tall enough for this sort of thing, but BDU trousers are surprisingly warm and not really all that...getting-wet-ish.

DSC02095

I really like this shot. I like the way all the needles are bunched together in a funny sort-of bell shape.

DSC02096

A bit of gate.

And while we're at it, let's just get all the fence shots out of the way in a row of thumbs....

DSC02098

I was trying to get the leaf. I didn't see the holes from other stuff falling off trees around it. I guess that worked out okay, though.

Also, snow is sparkly. Oooh.

DSC02099

Here comes a bunch of trees. I think I won't say anything for a while....

Gremlin took this one. I guess he didn't notice it was on the low-light scene setting. It wouldn't be this blurry, otherwise.

DSC02121

Do you see it watching you? It watches....

DSC02126

Speaking of IT, this might be where Pennywise lives. When everything's thawed, it's a funny, rusty thing that looks like it should have bars.

DSC02127

Snow on drainage things!

It's all so neat. I can't get enough of these shots...wait, maybe I can.

DSC02128

Okay, last one.

DSC02129

The snow's all flat and has a sharp edge. I thought it was neat.

DSC02132

This is another of the paths, leading to...somewhere. I'm not sure I've ever gone that way. But there are trees, and a light, and it looks all shadowey in this shot, which is kinda neat.

DSC02137

It's another of those shots....

DSC02138

Actually, it's a car, and not a drainage grate.

DSC02141

Another direction we didn't go. This, in fact, is where we turned back. I was slightly disappointed.

DSC02144

Big tree, yellow house, firey sky.

DSC02146

And here's a couple more trees.

DSC02147
DSC02155

I think I found Nessie. Maybe.

DSC02157

Another tree.

DSC02158

Some funny fog. Perhaps the wind blowing snow.

DSC02160

A streetlight. Also, some snow.

DSC02161

These are the tracks we made when we were heading toward the path. They're already a little...snowed-over.

DSC02162

I'm sure you remember that car.

DSC02167

SCARY CAT!

Scary, sun-eyed cat happened because 1. flash on inside the house with no red-eye reduction turned on [if that even works on cats], 2. I'd just brought the camera inside from outside, where inside was 68 and outside was rather more twentyish than senior-benefits-gettingey, so some foggy thing started happening somewhere inside my camera. It scared the hell out of me, because I thought I'd managed to destroy it. All better now, though.
