walking in a winter wonderland

ah February.

Here we are again.

I'm not sure what it is, but February is a pretty shitty month. Maybe it's the fact that it's really the last month of Winter, and it's been Winter for soooo long, and everyone's so sick of it being cold and miserable, and DARK!!

Almost everyone i know goes through a funk in February.

but i digress...

there are few things in this world i detest more than winter and being cold. Especially here in the Skatch, the winters are so dry that your whole body suffers. There are patches of dry skin on my back the size of Spain. My hair is in a constant Frizz state.

Generally at this time of year i find myself asking: Why did we move back here again?? But the melt should be coming soon, i hope...

So this was the state i found myself in this morning as i was getting into the car and heading to work... cantankerous and all around moody - the roads were icy, the car had to be scraped off... it was dark... but by the time i was a few blocks from my house, i opened my eyes and saw that i was driving through a breathtaking winter wonderland.

Every tree was covered in a thick layer of Hoar Frost.



The sky was white with fog, creating this beautiful glow all around the street lamps - really lending to the ethereal atmosphere.


I immediately wished that i had my camera with me... "Why am i not one of those people who carries a camera every place they go?" I asked myself...


When i got to work i realized i DID have a camera with me, albeit just the one on my phone.

So i snapped a few shots before heading into the office.

On days like this, when it's so absolutely beautiful outside, that i don't actually mind Winter. But i'll be glad to see it go.
