In 2015, I had been taking random pictures with a little digital camera for only about a year. So it's safe to say this picture, taken March 5, 2015, or seven years ago today, was one of the first pictures I took as part of a regular routine. Chances are it was taken in the very early morning (I am regularly up late, & was then too), & I never have really good cameras, so it's a shabby, badly lit picture. It's taken from my backyard in Lexington, Kentucky, on what was obviously a very cold night with snow covering everything.
Since then, I've lived in four different houses in two different cities, both very far away from Lexington. I miss the idea of snow - it's snowed here in Portland a couple of times, but only once (or maybe twice?) so far the "shovel your driveway & sidewalk" kind of snow. But I don't miss shoveling snow or the inconvenience of snow covering everything - it was more exhausting than beautiful in the end.
But gosh it really is beautiful. & on a cold night, so quiet & still.
