My Walk in a Blizzard

I've been waiting for it to snow and yesterday a blizzard blew in so I decided to leave the car parked and go for a walk.


This is a little further down the road from the last picture.


It wasn't snowing very hard but the wind was starting to pick up when I went in for a closer look at this mailbox. I bet there were a few birds that could have used it for shelter last night.



I walked a little more and onto a little one lane bridge. That's when I saw this Christmas tree hiding beside the creek. It must be a good spot because it made it through another Christmas with it's roots intact.



You might have noticed this old house in one of the pictures above. It sits beside on the other side of the creek from the Christmas tree.




I stood here for a while admiring the old house and noticed that it was built in 1831. Id love to look inside.





I walked some more and then took some shots of this old building and train tracks. I'd been cold for a while but this is when the reality of having to walk home hit me. It was really cold and I was covered in snow but even worse so was my camera and lens.
After I took some pictures of this building I stopped at Starbucks for a much needed hot chocolate. Then I finally made it home. That's when the blizzard really hit.

This is my world. Visit "My World Tuesday"

Merry Christmas (Weekend Reflections # 66)

Even with all the pictures that I took in New York last weekend it was hard to find one that had reflections and a Christmas theme. This is a giant wreath on the Waldorf Astoria hotel and the Christmas decorations have buildings people and yellow taxis reflected in them. I didn't count them but this might be a record for the most reflections that I've posted at once.
I'll be posting the rest of the NYC photos as well as my photos of Europe at on my other blog. One of my New Years goals is to keep this blog more true to it's name. :)
