\"Big<\/a>Eleven inches of snow fell this morning! – November 21, 2010 –\u00a0D200, handheld, f\/5, 1\/640, ISO 400, +0.7 EV, 18-200mm VR at 44mm, natural light<\/span><\/p>\n

I knew that when I woke up this morning there was a very good chance the ground would be covered with snow. I wasn’t expecting it to be over 11 inches!<\/p>\n

It was still cloudy & snowing when I woke and I could see how the snow had piled up on the branches of the trees outside. All I could hope for was a little bit of light to photograph the snow laden trees.<\/p>\n

I found some light and a bit of blue sky. Not for long though, it is supposed to snow more tonight.<\/p>\n

Little things make me happy, this snow sure did.<\/p>\n
