It was snowing last night, as the New Year approached, and when I took DJ, Lexis’ dog, out for his morning walk today there was beauty everywhere. The snow was balancing on branches of the trees and a blanket of white covered the golf course across the street from our condo.
After our walk I grabbed my camera and captured some of this beauty before it disappears. The sun is now up and there is a slight breeze, each attacking the peaceful lacey crystals, which will soon be gone.
I thought that I would share some of these New Years Day images with hopes that others will capture images in their part of the world and share them here as well.

There is a small tree standing alone on the golf course:
A view looking down Shennecossett Rd. (the road in front of our condo) with the golf course on the left:
Looking up through the snow-laced branches of a large maple tree:
Snow-laced branches of the small lone tree on the course.
And finally, here is a section of the course covered with bittersweet (a nasty vine that chokes other vegetation) and other scrub brush where golfers sometimes lose their balls. Today it was a thing of beauty:
I hope that you will take a minute and post 2006 images from your corner of the world. Let’s see how many parts of the country we can capture at the start of this New Year.
