Michelle - Well, I like it and think it works much better without color. For some reason, I find this a very soothing and peaceful image. I suppose because it reminds me of winters past, standing outside late at night shoveling snow in Baltimore. The crispness in the air and the absolute silence and stillness that's only broken by the soft tinkling of ice crystals as they fall from the tree branches. I loved that and miss it a lot sometimes (not the whole shoveling part). Makes me smile thinking about it. Thanks for reminding me of that. :) -=>Donald
