I was off on a personal day yesterday as I had my annual physical and some lab work.  When I finally finished up it was about 1:30 pm and even though the sunlight was harsh and it was colder than a Witch’s brew I decided to drive around the country side for a while and try to find some wild life or a great Winter scene.

What I found instead was this guy (well I think it was a guy) riding a mountain bike on Heritage Trail in full Winter survival gear.  I can’t imagine how hard he had to work to get through the packed snow still on the trail.  I was thinking black and white all the way with the images I took.  When he/she went by me they gave a little wave of the hand but I could tell they were struggling to keep it upright.

So after an hour of driving around I couldn’t find anything else that caught my eye so I headed back home.  As I was walking through the living room I noticed this growing collection of Angels that have been given to Jeanne.  I know how special they are to her so I tried to capture them in a way that reflected their importance.

After taking the images of the angels I was walking back to my office and Maggie wanted to show me her favorite chew toy.  Normally when I get home in the evening she will first come to the back door to make sure it’s me and then she will run to get something to show me.  Usually it is this nylar.

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a great day and be safe.
