This winter has been unusually warm for us in North Carolina. I'm sure there are many people who share my foreboding when I say that this worries me. Simply because, nature has a way of coming back to bite. This winter may be mild, but that could just mean that the cold is late this year, or that Lady Nature has decided to save the cold for next winter. In any case, yesterday morning brought on the first winter storm of the year. There was a two hour delay for school (rejoice, children! two more hours of sleep!) and when I finally did get up, it was to this:

Sadly, this is the only picture we have of the ice on the trees. I was too busy getting ready for school. The ice was still on the trees when I got home yesterday evening, but I was too busy being sleepy. Excuses, excuses, I know. Me taking pictures would involve me actually keeping my camera charged. Last night the full moon was out. And if your a member of the population who are regularly up after midnight, then you know how bewitching a full moon on a quiet winter night can be. The moonlight soaks up the color in everything, making it look like a black-and-white photograph. And you can see, especially when there are no leaves on the trees, you can see almost as if it's daylight. The moonlight plays games with your mind, because you know its the middle of the night, but you can see through the shadows. Last night, the shadows were filled with silver.
I just wish there was a way to capture moonlight with a camera.
