What a beautiful weekend. Cold yes, sadly fatal for some, but for me a very memorable one.  I still remember the one time it got cold enough last year for a serious frost and I was able to get out and get some great photos at the local lake and gardens. You can find some of them here. While a few people were complaining about their pipes being frozen I was piling on the layers and hoping for some great photos. 

It feels even more poignant that I was able to capture these at the start of The National Pain Week.  It’s extra special memories like these that help me get through the rougher times.

Being able to look back and remember how cold it was. How slippery the black ice was. How crisp the air was. How wrecked I was for the rest of the even after such a small outing. All worth it for this.

Can you guess which of these three photos is the new desktop image on my computer?
