Winter's last stand?

For almost all of this winter, the hills have been brown as can be. This morning we woke up to snow. It was the first snow day the boys have had off from school this school year.

So when I got to work, I was thinking about how I'd rather be out driving the roads along the Ohio River, looking for a good shot with a boat or a bridge or a dam.

Today I got no pictures, even when a barge broke loose on the Kanawha and started floating downstream. I did spend a couple of minutes thinking about river photos from winters past, like these:

Winter photos can be nice, but I still like spring better. Only about six more weeks until the hills around here are green again.
