As many of my friends know I walk every morning with a couple of friends at our local city park that has a trail that’s 1.25mi in length. I really enjoy the trail and as you’ve seen in the past it’s one of the sources of many of my pictures, especially shot with my iPhone as it’s always with me.

Today it was miserably cold and snowing and I almost talked my walking partners out of today’s exercise, but they insisted that since we were there that we should go ahead and brave the elements. Besides, I’ve always told them that the hardest part of exercising in the winter was getting out the door, and of course they through it back into my face.

Well, today’s photo comes from today’s walk. There’s this one area we walk through along one of the lakes that goes through a grove of pine trees and one of the older trees fell sometime in past few days resulting in today’s photo. I just love how the snow produced a slight misty quality. Sometimes you just never know where you’ll find a good picture, even on a bad weather day.
