COLD – You Capture

February 10, 2011 by Elaine

I’m usually okay with winter.  I like wearing sweaters and drinking hot tea and cocoa and snuggling under lots of blankets.  But the last few weeks have been full of more gray skies that I’m used too and well, I’m thinkin’ Old Man winter needs to pack his bags and get out.

Is is Spring yet?

I mean even this Southerner is COLD!

A view during the 10K I ran on Saturday when it was 28 degrees (yes, I took this while on the move!).  Taken w/ iphone and edited w/ Picnic

By the way, currently have a giveaway going on for a beautiful photo canvas from Canvas Press.  Please come enter! 🙂

    I have been wanting to do a family photo wall for years….this would be a perfect start!! I love the 1.5inch wrap…and I have to book a pro to take a family pic once the spring arrives!
