Is my dad not the coolest guy around?

My mom and Sam were so emotional. It was really touching to see.

Also, Jeremy set this Uh-Mazing picture as my computer desktop.

Sunday.

I woke up today with a drive to get things done. I put on a pot of coffee, ate a small lunch, pulled up a seat to my computer, and got to work.

Through the window by my desk, I could hear the harsh winter winds blowing, rustling through the trees, shaking the leaves, already hanging on for dear life, to the ground. Immediately, I moved my focus to Flickr. I started searching for pictures with the tags of "winter" or "snow", getting excited and inspired for the next few months! Normally, cold and snow mean less and probably miserably freezing photo shoots. This winter will be different.

I decided to go for a short drive, take in the beauty of this cold Sunday afternoon.

When I got back to my house, I pulled out my camera and shot a few pictures around my yard. The bright leaves covered in snow were exceptionally pretty.

Then, the moment I went inside and walked through my kitchen, I saw the mountains outside the window glowing with a bright orange. So I went back outside to see an amazing sunset taking place. Of course I snapped another picture.

Today was lovely. How was your Sunday?
