92 Days

Long time readers of The Old Blog are well aware of my disdain for the heat and humidity of Summer.  I can't stand it.  Have always hated it and will probably continue to do so.  June 1st is always what I call the most depressing day of the year.  It is the first of the 92 days that comprise June, July and August.  Traditionally the warmest months of the year.  I literally count down the days until September 1st. Knowing that by then, most of the heat and humidity that I hate will have passed.  So, to remind me of more comfortable times, here is a little blast of Winter.  I grant you that this may not end up being my most popular post.  I admit that it has been a very long Winter.  Some of you may be looking forward to the heat.  For those of you who feel that way, don't worry.  I won't hold your wrong opinion against you.  The photograph was taken at f/7.1, 1/320sec, ISO 100 at 70mm.  One down, 91 to go.
