head first into winter

We were surprised with a mid-week storm this past week, while the leaves were still bright and clinging to the trees.  About 6 inches of snow fell, so I took a walk to the park and tried to capture the magic as best as I could.

it's officially ski season!

The local mountain isn't opening for another week, but we skied it anyway! We hiked to the top of the mountain a couple times yesterday and again today for some preseason snow.
