Accepting Winter

OK, let me purge it from my system: I absolutely hate the winter and I hate the cold.  Every winter I ask myself how I came to live in Pittsburgh (which I actually love during all the other seasons). There, I feel better now, having got that out....and ready to move on to making some winter photographs.  Every year I struggle with getting out in the cold.  Every year I do it a couple of times.  This year I intend to do it more than a couple of times, particularly if it snows and particularly if it gets cold enough for Lake Arthur to freeze over.

To motivate myself, I am posting one of my favorite winter shots (from an admittedly small pool)!
