"Low Battery" Strikes Again

  I am sitting in my third floor dorm room, overlooking mounds of snow and clusters of college students frolicking through them. Snow days tend to bring the inner desire to frolic, I think. I want to go out a take pictures of the winter blizzard but my camera batteries are dead. And apparently college students have some unwritten rule keeping extra batteries around because no one has any.
  So I suppose I'll just have to watch the weather, instead of photographing it. The snow flakes are  increasing in size so rapidly I wouldn't be surprised if actual snowballs began to fall from the sky.
  ...Okay, I would be a little surprised.
  Since I cannot share what my campus looks like right now. I will show you some pictures I find sort of magical from a few months ago. You see, I have gotten so used to film I completely forget about the pictures on my digital camera. In late October I was walking to rehearsal early one morning when I was struck by the stunning elegance of fog blanketing the earth around me. 
  I'm honesty not even sure how some of these pictures turned pink, but I like the effect. I love when my the pictures take on personalities and colors and tones without any prompting from me.  Hopefully these can inspire some of you to get out there today and be enchanted by the scenery around you. And take some pictures of the snow for me, will you? I promise I'll get some batteries soon.
