A pretty scene I found this afternoon.

Serene scene in Derby


I found a winter scene this morning at Osbornedale State Park in Derby. The snow is pretty when it doesn't need to be shoveled.

Sharing updated ice rink information from Facebook:

Break out your skates, and bundle up. It's going to be cold.
