Photography Wednesday: A Festivus Miracle

In honor of the holiday season, I'm going to share some holiday pictures with you. A true Festivus Miracle!

Finally for today's last Festivus miracle, some freshly fallen snow along the Naugatuck river. To tease some more upcoming content, I'll be talking soon about the problems associated with winter photography, especially in the snow.
