In spite of the hassles that come with the record amounts of snow, it really was quite beautiful this morning. I decided to put on my hiking boots and get out there with my camera, before all the snow blew off the branches. Below is a shot looking east down Schroeder Road.
Despite the continuing below-normal temperatures, I needed to connect with the outdoors today. Late this afternoon, I visited a frozen Lake Monona.
For a while now, I’ve been looking for a decent method to display larger photos on this site (some pictures look so much better at larger sizes). I finally settled on Highslide JS, a very nice javascript thumbnail viewer. Just click on the photograph to zoom out to a larger version. It also lets you drag the larger image around, and open up multiple images at once. Pretty slick, huh?
We got a bit of snow last night. It was absolutely beautiful the way it coated all the trees.
It’s been pretty cold here in Madison for the past week, and this morning our first big winter storm of the season began.
Today I’ve officially gone into Winter mode. I put a batch of chili in the crock pot, and dug my humidifier out of the closet. While those shocks from static electricity are fun at first, it gets a little old after a few times. I also took my first pictures of snow for the season, from the warm side of my patio door of course.
Yes, winter has arrived.
