Today was one of those days where I really would just rather spend my morning staring out the window instead of rushing off to work.  Some nights have the perfect weather for creating a winter scene.  There was a light fog overnight, and temps below freezing.  This caused the fog to condense and freeze leaving every tree and bush lightly frosted in glistening white ice crystals.  Every twig sparkled in the sunlight of the clearing dawn.  It was beautiful.  Looking at the scene, you could feel the battle between the moist spring air and tight grip of winter's cold.

Actually, there was an advantage to having to rush off to work.  I drive by Haven Woods State Forest on my way in.  As good as my back yard looked, Haven Woods was 10 times as beautiful.  I didn't have a camera, so I'll just have to hold on to the image in my mind's eye.  I hope I can hold it until I get to trade up, perhaps for the image of crocuses bursting through the barely thawed soil.  I hope that your day had some images half as inspiring as mine.
