Purple Dawn

I have been waiting all winter to take pictures the morning after a good snowfall. I had no idea that I would have to wait until the end of February before there would be any significant snow in the Pioneer Valley. Finally the day arrives and all I have is my phone camera. At least it takes decent pictures.

This is Penraptures view from her back porch. Too bad she missed it, she was sleeping in today. But she did get the joy of snow blowing later!
