Outdoor Photo of the Week: First snow

I snapped these photos while I was out at my parent's house in Buckley, WA today. The weatherman had been threatening that it'd snow over this weekend. And sure enough, it did. Buckley is about 700 feet in elevation. When we were heading home, the snow stopped once we got off the plateau.

Oh, and the Christmas light I just thought was a neat photo.
