In the midwest we have harsh winters. We have to drag ourselves out of bed when it's 30 below. We have to shovel out sidewalks before leaving for work. We have to dig ourselves out when we get stuck. Winter can be a dreaded time, but if you have a camera. . . You gasp at moring fog, for you know frost follow fog. In the midwest you enjoy the fireplace, hot chocolate, and wait fo the frost, for when there is frost, there is beautiful photography!
