Hibernating...

30F --> right about freezing temperature. Cold.
20F --> It is damn cold in here
10F ---> My pinky starts to twinge and slowly loses its senses
Anything under 10F --> What the (*#&$*^%

It is that time of year again. I reached my personal low at 9F last Tuesday. Yes, it is WAY under endurable temperature in my standard. The best I can do is to snuggle in my comforter and sleep whole day. And that's exactly what I did today. Almost felt guilty for not doing anything productive during weekends. Any good sunny weekend shouldn't be wasted in bed, even if it is damn cold like this.

Due to nature of my work, it is extremely busy during summer. Since then I have set a winter goal, which is to take as many scenic photos as possible in an open country around here. Not only can I update my photo portfolio, but also I get to appreciate the beauty of this new town in an artistic approach.

One major flaw with that goal is miscalculating how cold this place can be during winter. Even with a nice sunshine in the 30Fs, it is still freezing cold after layers of sweaters and a big jacket. It is just not feasible to stand outside and leave my index finger out of glove to click shutter continuously. Plus Christmas is on the way, how I resist the temptation of shopping? The big ON SALE sign pulls me further away from my winter dream.


Here comes some freezing yet beautiful memeories from last week. This reminds me why it is worth going outside and freezing to death.
