310 of 365 First Snow

Came downstairs in the dark this am  to see a blanket of bright, white snow on the back deck. My first thoughts were how beautifully peaceful it was - so crisp and clean and soft. But those brief momentary pleasures were quickly followed by the thought of four months of shoveling the stuff at 7am every morning and at 5 pm many evenings. Big SIGH....... and minus 40 degree temps.

So I dug out my boots, my down filled winter jacket and my gloves, grabbed the camera and the 50 mm prime and headed out to enjoy the first snowfall.
