Were you up all night again, Casey? :-) Wonderful dog, Vicki! Lovely anemone, Ron. That squirrel looks like he's waiting for (and demanding) his dinner. Moni, I'm dazzled by so much color on this winter day. An oldie: frost crystals

Not my picture, but taken by local newspaper in Gadsden. I grew up going to the falls as a kid. Crowds of onlookers gathered to take pictures and shoot videos of Gadsden's Noccalula Falls this morning, swelled by heavy rains and shooting steam into the air. They received 20 inches of rainfall over a 24 hour period during Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, according to the county's Emergency Management Agency

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening By Robert Frost Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village though; He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow. My little horse must think it queer To stop without a farmhouse near Between the woods and frozen lake The darkest evening of the year. He gives his harness bells a shake To ask if there is some mistake. The only other sound’s the sweep Of easy wind and downy flake.
