The weather outside is frightful.

Our first snow storm arrived with a vengeance today.  After arriving home from work I took this picture of our front yard and so many snowflakes landing on the lens it looked like a very bad case of sensor dust.  The only way to fix it was add a texture or two.  I first used Kim Klassen's  Phoebe followed by her Grunge frame. I finally figured out the mouse over code so you can see the before and after by hovering the mouse on the photo.
