Christmas Distraction

nyhoule — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 14:58:00 +0000

In Lieu of posting nothing during our Holiday Hiatus, let me present my first dabbling in HD video. I just recently bought a new camera and had to bring it with me when Andrew and I went on our semi-annual hike. This was taken the day after our first Winter storm, and even though we only got sleet and freezing rain in NYC, it is clear nothing but the white stuff fell on the Minnewaska State Preserve. A Winter Wonderland indeed. Please enjoy responsibly.
