The Picaroon

Today is crazy cold- feels like the bitter nip of still winterness in the air, and though the weather sites tell me the lowest temperature is in the mid 30's, but most likely about 40, I call shenanigans. If we had any precipitation today, we would be a least "slushing" it, if not all out snowing.
Days are grey with the fog that is skirting the trees until late morning and clinging to the valleys beyond. Even this photo is grey, only the ivy-ridden tree trunk provides a modest bit of color. But catch that awesome, spanning the river library. A mere week ago, the place I stood to take this photo was under many feet of water. Wow. I tried to tell that to my walking companion, in a tone that implied my deepest sense of wonder and awe, but he only looked at me to see if I would treat him with a milk bone for trying to feign interest. Dogs, men - all the same.
