Winter Desktop Wallpaper

It was 2 days after the winter storm blew through Lubbock, leaving the whole town shivering and covered in a brilliant white layer of snow and ice. When I woke up that morning I could hear the rapid sound of water dripping of the eaves of the house in a rhythmic, drip, drip, drip, drip sound.

I hopped out of bed, and drew back the curtains to look outside. The sky was a brilliant cerulean blue. The sun, unobstructed by the Grey clouds of the previous two day, put on a show of special brilliance. It was as if it was saying, "You might be able to keep me away for a few days, but now I will show you just how bright I can be!" Its warm rays beat down on the snow and ice. Beams of light bounced and reflected off every inch of the ice covered world outside.

Since the roads were now clear, I jumped at the chance to head to the gym. The bi-polar Lubbock weather had kept me from safely venturing out the last few days and I was beginning to feel like a caged animal. Quickly pulling on some gym shorts, a t-shirt, and my running shoes I snatched my keys and headed for the door.

Despite the fact the sun was now out, the cold air hit me like a ton of bricks as I stepped outside. Running to my car, I noticed the ice covered trees. They were dazzlingly brilliant. The trees looked like they had millions of diamonds clinging to their branches. Knowing the ice would probably be melted in an hour or two, I shivered and ran back inside for my camera.

For the next 20minutes, I stood outside in the snow in my little black gym shorts snapping away at the trees. Yes, I probably looked crazy to those passing by, but whatever.
