« Look and then look again. Those who paid attention in biology or anatomy classes will see the clever twist. I walked past it myself only to stop 3 paces on and smile back at it. »

We had a lot of fun yesterday helping Jarkko's sister move into her new apartment that has a gorgeous 7th floor view. It began snowing at some point during the day and looked as though it was just a flurry until it really started dumping snow towards the late afternoon. I think we wound up with nearly a foot/30cm of the rather wet marshmallowy snow. I always love the first snow or three, especially if they're a good and proper snow. By the time February rolls around and you've trudged through the snow, ice and grit for months it loses its appeal. Of course, you have to wait until May for it to warm up and melt away.

We also went wandering out into the snow last night which was an adventure and more than a bit slippery. I took one especially amusing photo that I'm hoping will turn out when I develop the film, hopefully, later today. I also must continue to be in awe of the women who trot over the ice packed sidewalks in shoes I couldn't manage to walk in on a clear day. I'll stick to my flat-soled boots I think. :)
