Crystals & Flakes: Winter '09 in Cincinnati

January 2009 brought the first major storm to Cincinnati. As damaging as it was, with extended power outages, roadway accidents, sore backs (from shoveling) and general inconvenience, Cincinnati escaped the devastation experienced in Kentucky and elsewhere.

After the swearing and hand-wringing have passed and a sense of normalcy returns to the mind and heart, it is good to reflect on the beauty that nature gave us. Yes, it is hard to see the beauty when you’re digging-out or waiting in a major traffic tie-up, but the beauty is there if we choose to look. These photographs, all taken on my street, some out my window, will let us remember and enjoy the beauty that we may have missed while living through the onslaught.
