I know that many of you have experienced much more snow that we got here in Eugene but we finally did get a small amount overnight and since my morning spin class was cancelled I headed for the Delta Ponds area to catch the morning light on the fresh snow and frozen ponds. After this morning I have a real clear idea of what is is like to be a fish fillet in the frozen food display at the local market – at least my feet do. Still in all it was a nice morning and while I wish for more snow – for photographic purposes – I am sure the town and most drivers are happy with the small amount we got. I saw this image on my way down the hill from the car and it is just seemed to sum up the chill in the air.
I spent some time at the end of the boardwalk waiting for the sun to make an appearance and finally some color started to show in the sky but no warmth. The patterns in the ice were beautiful. Headed back to nice warm car after this.
I came close to going there this morning, as well. But my exercise class wasn’t cancelled, and I need to lose 8 pounds. I am expecting more snow this evening, so possibly tomorrow morning will create an opportunity. But I think you probably got the better deal going out today, as there WAS a little light in the sunrise, which we may not get with tomorrow’s cloud cover. Your second image does a good job of showing sun without warmth…makes me glad we don’t live in interior Alaska!
