These are some pictures I took on December 26, 2002 in my own back yard, in Malden, MA. Click on the thumbnail to enlarge.
GabbieWatches.jpg I spotted my cat Gabbie intently watching something out our living room window, and went to take a look.
ThroughTheWindow.jpg She was watching the squirrels in the big old tree in the yard. Unfortunately, by the time I got the camera focused, the group of five had dwindled to two.
IceGarland.jpg Since I already had the camera out, I decided to go out and photograph interesting ice formations, like the sagging ice on our porch railing, while I still had light.

I found some interesting ice formations:

And then the squirrels came back:

Other pictures:
GabbieWatchesMe.jpg Apparently Gabbie found my tramping around the yard interesting to watch.
TreeFaces.jpg I think these burls on our tree look like odd gnarly faces, in the right light.
CornerSnow.jpg The terraced area where my friend Susan helped me plant bulbs was unrecognizable after the big storm.
