Ah, winter!  The season where us northerners hibernate in our homes all winter long and generally don’t go outside unless there is fresh powder on the ground.  It’s pretty then.  After a few days it isn’t as pretty and charming…it’s just cold, cold, COLD!  Right now it is rather brisk in the outdoors.  The kind of temperatures where your nose hairs and eyelashes freeze during the 5 seconds it takes you to walk from the parking ramp to the stairwell.  It is rather refreshing, though.  It clears the lungs, because I hear that bacteria thrive in warmth, so they must wither and die when you breathe in sub-zero temps.  Refreshing…yeah, that’s just what it is.

I must apologize to our Aussie participants in choosing to highlight a season past for them.  I’m just bitter about them swimming in their pools and playing in their parks and going to the beach.  Very, very bitter. 😉

Since it appears that hell hath frozen over, I haven’t gotten outside to take winter pictures this week.  This means you are subjected to other pictures from some past photo ops in the snow. 

Walking in the snow is hard, man!
