When the snow lay round about, deep and crisp and even...


I am in the process of learning how to use the digital camera that I received for Christmas last year. As I looked at the 504 images that were uploaded, it became obvious that my photography skills developed as the year progressed.

None of the photos I took last Christmas are of particular interest...and this one is the only one I have with snow.

No, it's not a Christmas picture--it was taken on April 24, 2008. My daughter is pushing angrily through the snow on her way to a swim meet, while my husband trails behind. It was easier to walk to the pool than to shovel out a vehicle, especially as the roads had not been ploughed. Tell that to a 10 year old!

But it does remind me of the legend of King Wenceslas, whose steps melted the snow so that his servant was able to follow. I am surprised that this photo doesn't show the steam rising from my daughter.
