Can Spring be far behind? (Percy Bysshe Shelley)
--------------------------------
After today, Philadelphia is in for nearly a week of temperatures in the 40s and 50s.
---------------------------
This was shot from our guest room window yesterday. The pond is snow-covered; the black fence is there to discourage child nature lovers from falling in. Beyond the fence is the road. The Norway Spruces are well over 100 feet tall.

Used TOPAZ Impression to take this photo a little into the artistic realm.
