Winter does have it's delights. This is one of my favorites. It's so peaceful!

An unexpected blizzard in Albuquerque left my daughter stranded there for 2 1/2 days. This is one of the delightful snow sculptures she enjoyed.

Winter is on its way. While I don't particularly enjoy winter in Chicago, I do appreciate the gorgeous view from my condo when the snow has just fallen.  If you look real hard, you will see the Victorian-style house across the street.
