first snow :)

We got our first snow of the year on Saturday!  I didn't actually think we'd get any, but it snowed most of Saturday and part of Sunday as well.  Now it's raining (back to green again) and the wind sounds like it's going to tear the roof off.  Nice day for a walk around campus later today...

Isn't our view of the pond off our balcony sweet?  We had bald eagles and red-tail hawks swooping over the pond yesterday, but I won't be able to get a good photo until I get a new lens.  All I get right now is a black blob with what could possibly be wings... but still, a black blob with what could possibly be wings photographed with my new Nikon, which I'm pretty excited about.  (It's not quite as nice as the camera I took to Mississippi a few years ago, but it's at least in the same family).  This could be a fairly expensive hobby.  I have a feeling that if I ever figure out what all the buttons do, I might be able to take a pretty good picture.  :)
