I used a color wash action on this first photo. I just liked the nice, soft glow of the night as the snow was falling.
We took my daughter to the airport because she's getting to do a study abroad program. Right now she's in Greece, for about 3 weeks, then Turkey for a week. Then she and her friend are heading to Amrsterdam for 3 days and staying in a hostel (oh, God help me!)And then! I get to fly to London with my son and meet my daughter and her friend for 5 days in London! I'm really hoping this will be a trip in which I am NOT talked into doing life-threatening, hazardous, vacation things.
Silly me; I should have taken a photo of this first. Today, I took my poor old car off to the car wash to get the Minnesota salt washed off of it. The car wash guy asked my how on earth I'd managed to get 2 1/2" of ice on my front bumper, lights and license plates! (And that's after we'd scraped it off several times during our trip back!) I knew that if I didn't take this through a car wash now, it would still be on my car until the spring melt in April. We don't normally lose what we get in snowfall here, until spring; we just keep accumulating it.

Love the captures and the PP on the first one! Yay for your DD. I got to study abroad for a few months and it was wonderful. I know my mom worried but I made it home safe and as sound as when I left. ;)

I LOVE these. I can almost feel myself in the scene. What a great adventure for your daughter, and for you! Fantastic shot of the church and graveyard below too. Sorry you're having to do so much traveling in the lousy weather.

P.S. Enjoy your book (I loved the first story!)
