fifty two on friday ~ week 2 (landscape)

i cannot believe we did not have our first real snow of the year until two weeks into january. mother nature finally blasted us with some winter weather.

landscapes are really not my thing. i did not know if i was going to participate until the last minute this week. i drove to the shipping canal near our home while the kids were at school and took this shot from the car. i tried a few different apertures and a few different shutter speeds to make sure i got something i liked before i drove off. when i saw this in my view finder i knew i had something i could live with and post. i have to add that i did not convert this to black and white...this is how dreary the day actually was.
