Stayed close to home this last weekend.....brrrr....it was a chilly weekend....wasn't too fond of the thought of freezing to death while trying to have fun....spent time close to the fire and messed around with photos....photos are a on going never ending project.....The last few days with the cold weather we have had beautiful blue sky's....not to bad if it's in the 20's but when the temperature starts dropping down into the teen's it gets just a tiny bit miserable....During the week every now and then I get to run away from my desk and take pictures for a few minutes....between phone calls.....Lake Chelan is a beautiful place....lovely mountain back drop with a big blue lake....It's nice to get out and enjoy the scenery for a few minutes during the day....winter can drag on....if you sit behind a desk all day...with out a view of the blue sky's during the day....I am ready to venture back out into the snow...just hope the weather gets just a tiny bit warmer before our next trip out.....checking out different trail options for snowshoeing....
