Winter, give or take a few inches









After skating through a long fall and an almost non-existent early winter, we were greeted with winter as light came to my slice of Michigan.  At least 8 inches of the white fluffy stuff coated trees and piled on any still surface.  While pretty enough, shoveling was a chore that I didn't enjoy.  I was blessed with a nice passing person with a pick-up with a snow plow who blasted through the pile of concrete snow and ice at the end of the driveway.  In Michigan, they do that and then just drive away with a wave.  That was nice.  Now Mother Nature is just playing with us with more snow and a wind that is  filling in the already shoveled spots.  Another 2-4 inches are expected in the next day or two.

The pictures are of snow.  And trees.  And the Cut and AuSable Rivers.  Note there are three of the same scene, though all are different because of the amount of snow and wind.  If you sit still long enough, everything changes.
