If Winter Comes...

Description

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.
