A little snow to end the season

grey squirrelWe had about an inch of snow the other day - enough to have to sweep the steps but not enough to make driving difficult. (I almost said hazardous, but driving is always hazardous as long as there are other drivers out there.)

The birds and squirrels have been good about posing for my camera since I've been putting seed out for them. I played with Photoshop with these pictures, using the cross-hatch filter for one thing. Photoshop's filters are addictive - I always create a layer to experiment on so that I can delete it if I mess it up. Also layers can be turned on and off so you can compare effects, plus they can be applied with different settings and amounts of transparency.
