Woke up to above-freezing temperatures this morning for the first time in I can't remember how long. So, I set off for a morning walk. It was cut a little short by drizzling mist (I was afraid of getting caught in a downpour if I tried another loop around the neighborhood streets). Got several unimpressive photos, but a couple turned out okay with a little touching up like this pale leaf stuck in the snow. At right, the happy face in the ice seemed to be cheering me on my way and welcoming me back to the streets.
