Mica from the Sky 

The First Snow, Canon 7D from Reid Carrescia on Vimeo.

The cold of December has moved in this week and with it there have been a few brief moments of snow. This morning was especially lovely. Mica-like crystals formed and sparkled in the sunlight right before your eyes. Like the video above, I was reminded just how beautiful the first snow can be. Later, I had a chance to go for a run and even though I hadn't done anything for a couple weeks the run was surprisingly easy. It was a temperature range when it's cool enough to exercise but still warm enough not to freeze yourself.

It turned out to be a pretty good weekend. I finished a project, finally found a pair of eye glasses I liked, baked some bread, had a run, hit the bike, the Leafs won (albeit in a shoot-out), saw a couple of good movies (The American, Starting Out in the Evening) and tonight made a mushroom risotto and a flank steak broil. Good times. Good times.
