day 126

day 123

I used to love getting all bundled up and playing in the snow, but somewhere along the line this all changed.  

Now the extent of winter activity is running to and from my frozen car.

day 120...12-31-09

blue moon

To my understanding the phrase "once in a blue moon" (meaning rare) came before the term blue moon referring to 2 full moons in one calendar month as we've had here in December.  Tonight was also a Lunar eclipse although we did not see that here.  I shot this with my 500mm zoom lens.    Happy New Year!
