Drive By

On the way to my brother's house via an alternative route I found this tree. It always amazes me that some of the best sites are close to home. We forget in our travels that there are interesting marvels for us to capture close to our homes. We just need to open our eyes.
I have attempted to add in a sunbeam but it was not as successful as I'd hoped. Still I do like the overall effect.

On the way home it started to snow. Although at this resolution it is hard to tell as the snow is very light and very wet. I was lucky to find this old barn just before Airport Road on Mayfield.
