It snowed (here in Central Oregon) yesterday.

And not just a dusting.
Real snow.
4 inches or so.
Roads are ice rinks.
Trees look like dusted with powdered sugar.
The river below my house is half-way frozen over.

And yet I couldn't resist venturing out. With snow, it is hard to measure the light properly though - especially for the light metering system in my lame little Sony digital camera. Hence, today's pic is rather on the bla side. But I felt obliged to post *something*. So here it is.

First Snow on a Little Orange Flower

But while my day was BLA overall, poor Luke experienced a complete meltdown. All his digital images and blog entries from the past 7 years are gone. And his stuff was so awfully good. This sucks. Alert and compassionate readers should donate to him, so he can at least buy himself the Sigma SD9 (or SD10) he's been secretly lusting after, and make us happy with his images.
