Winter Rivers


I was watching the local news here in Cincinnati and they reported that one of the reasons residents cite for why they like living in Cincinnati is that we have four seasons.  I count myself among those.  I am not satisfied if it is a "mild" winter without at least one or two good snowfalls.

We have had really strange weather in Cincinnati this year.  In an area that experiences about 44 inches of rain annually, we had more than 70 inches.  We always have at least some snow in December.  Today is the first day with we've had more than a dusting.  It is beautiful right now.

The collage above includes three pictures taken from the Little Miami Bike Trail -- one of my favorite places in the world.  My husband and I ride our bikes along it as frequently as possible.  The picture in the bottom left is a view of a bend in the Ohio River taken from the location of my Dad's first house.  It was torn down to build Columbia Parkway, one of the primary east-west corridors in Cincinnati.

Winter can be beautiful!  I intend to enjoy it.
