Tribute to Snowmageddon 2010

Although I grew up in a blizzard prone town. I've never continuously walked through so much snow in my life as I have in the past two weeks. (You drive through snow there.) Just this morning I wished I had my old snow pants, as I sunk though a snow drift up to my knees. After a while the trudging through the snow gets old. But before that happens, while the snow is falling or just after the storm is over, the snow is truly beautiful. I've spent spent several cold moments with a smile on my face looking at trees, clouds and buildings.
Special thanks to Corb for venturing out in Snowmageddon to capture the picture of the Capitol and then letting me use it for my blog. The frame came from iStock Photo. I applied a few filters to the picture of the Capitol for a blurry oil painted look, with a little detail. To the picture of the frame I adjusted the hue until I saw the shade of blue I was after. I love the color blue, but it also conveys how cold I've been this winter while complementing the picture inside.
