It is really frustrating here because there is no snow (we get maybe 20 inches a year) and it is plenty warm enough to go outside but around the end of November this absolutely stunning area turns from lush green mountains to breaktaking colors to gross grey everything. To make matters worse, my car is acting up, so unnecessary driving (to the hiking trails, scenic parkway, anywhere that is not work or home, ect.) is out.

So I have been archiving my photos and playing with Photoshop. Spring cannot get here soon enough.
