early winter days

what a difference a few days can make...  warm and sunny quickly transforms into cold and blustery - with the threat of snow no longer a threat but reality... turning the landscape into a premature winter wonderland.  white, pristine; clean and pure... 

taking the wonderful autumnal colors with it - leaving beautifully colored leaves on the ground... blowing in the wind.  a touch of seasons to come and an errant gull flying through a darkened, mist-filled sky...

happy day.....
