The second shoveling got to me this morning. The wind really blew a lot back in the driveway, and there was fresh snow from last night to clear. I began the shoveling around 5:15am and finished about 7am. It wasn’t quite daylight yet and sunrise was still 30 minutes off.
I took a shot of the plow going up our street. I was fumbling for my glasses and had in on manual focus from something I was doing inside last night. I tried to adjust but without the glasses I just shot. Sorry for the focus problem on shot one.
I took a walk trying to stretch out a bit. I was smart enough to take the camera with me. But I was a bit concerned because it still is icy and the side of the roads are still deep.

It’ didn’t feel as cold as the temps indicated. I guess I dressed correctly for the weather. Though carrying the camera with bare hands that last 30 minutes was a bit chilly.
Up the street I went where one neighbor still has some holiday decorations out.
A couple of locals had the snowblowers fired up. This one above on Woodstock at the Snowball Stand.
I always am looking for color when nature isn’t providing it. She was trying but that sun wasn’t up yet.
As the Beatles would say “Here Comes the Sun” which is a good song I should go listen to.
I’m going to start getting out for the sunrise more often. I’ll see how good I am at that by posting the beginning of the day here.

Random Thoughts of the Day
- I’d rather be walking in the hot sand in flip flops than cold snow in boots.
- There is a beautiful quiet to snow. We all have heard it.
- Taking a swing at some abstract art for the first time. It’s interesting.
- Got an important meeting today.
