Last nights rain, sleet, and heavy wet snow laid on the power lines, knocked the power out earlier this morning at about 5am for a good 4hrs. Mid morning settled down to a light snowfall. The inspiriting beauty called out to be captured, and I headed out the door with a mug of coffee and camera in hand.

Though, while heading out in to the frosty air I did have to convince myself the cold bitter air would be energizing as the snow crunched below my boots.

The only color around was this vacant summer cottage looking pretty cozy covered in snow. A lovely laced valance hung in the window, a charming little place! I wondered if it had a fireplace?

A few of natures surprises, snow covered berries and golden spikes of grass.

I had even met a few friends a long the way, chickadee and  bluejay.

Thanks for walking along, stay well my friend.
