We woke up to a skiff of snow and then boom, it rained and snowed.  Frankly I am tired already of the gray days and this doesn't bode well for the winter here.  I remember a winter of gray and not really any snow a few years back and boy were people cranky by January.   This really isn't "normal" for us.  Back in the "old days" we would get snowy days, lay down great snow pack and even have some bitter cold below zero stuff, BUT it would be sunny.  May be -20 but the sun was out.   Gray crap is why I didn't move to the coast 30+ years ago.   So really no pretty snow, just spits here and there but will try hard to not complain about moisture.

I promised some more odd ball shots from our walk and that is the purpose of this post so here ya go! I am going to work on the bare naked tree shots, I know there is some good stuff in them if I can find it. I also didn't exactly have a great lens for getting the whole frame as sharp as I wanted so that is next on the list.  Shorter lens especially for the close up stuff.   

So do you guys have any in here that you like and why?  I'm just curious!

I am and always will be a sucker for barbed wire.  I think there is some Zentangle inspiration in there somewhere too.

I was kind of amazed at the different colors of lichen I saw in this shot below.
