Winter's last hurrah


hospetality001, originally uploaded by pawtrait04.

Even though the winter is beautiful with white snow and glistening ice after a while we long for spring. This shot of what is hopefully the last cold blast until next winter was shot at the creek that runs though Country Hospetality - a pet spa, just outside Bath, NY.

sometimes you think outside the box, sometimes you are so far outside the box things seem crazy.

I went out today with a flat battery in the camera -duh!! But found this interesting leaf and I have a scanner - so an idea was hatched.

I love the results.......

This small evergreen had succumbed to the weight of ice and snow and simply keeled over.
