Calm and Quiet on the Credit

There really isn't much to match the silent beauty of the first snow fall when the natural world hasn't quite gone to sleep. The last time I took pictures of this event I was in Fredericton and I got some neat pictures with the snow falling on Sumac leaves. I was actually doing a bit of field work (which involved me putting my hands into this chilly water - I don't think I've ever appreciated Tim Horton's Hot Chocolate so much in my life - or dry clothes. I even forgave them for forgetting to put milk in it (albiet with a scalded tounge).

Of course it was raining by the time I got back home - so there is no snow here, but a pretty afternoon indeed.
