First Snowfall 2009

It came too early in the season for most of us- Columbus Day is waaaayyyy to early, but there were some neat pictures that I managed to take from my window.

Well, actually the first two were taken on Sunday evening - about midnight - when I got home from the Twins final game in Minneapolis. (Pictures of that coming later in the week.) This is the apartment parking lot....

And way up in one of the street lamps was this poor old spider web just catching snowdust...

Now this one is from Monday noon looking across the lake outside our apartment. Somehow the mix of white and color is nice, but still too soon.

But to make it all worthwhile about an hour after the above picture, I looked out and there they were, our eagles. Recently a second one has joined the first that I've seen since we moved in almost two years ago. They now seem to be holding court together.

And then to zoom in from another shot, they are quite majestic and patient. They were there for over an hour. In the snow.
