BABY IT'S COLD OUTSIDE!

Yes, as the weathermen predicted it is absolutely FREEZING outside today (at least here in the Northeast).  But, sometimes some good can come of the bitter cold.  Though my mother is at her job today combatting frozen pipes and broken-down boilers (she is the Facilities Director for a New England prep school--a big and hectic job on a foul weather day like today), she still made time on her drive to work to stop and take these gorgeous photos of the Connecticut River encased in frost and frigid mist.  There is no snow on the trees in these pictures, just crystalline ice.

If only it weren't so cold, I might take a walk myself to shoot some of these wondrous sights. . . . 

Thanks to my talented mother for these beautiful photographs!  Stay warm everyone!
