Fun with cameras: It is possible to photograph "cold"

I took a few pictures while running errands this morning in Middlebury that I thought I would share for funsies. And while it's not as cold as it has been and it's not snowing as hard as it could, I think these pictures illustrate the ideas of "cold" and "Vermont" pretty well.  On a related note, I am now wearing toe warmers for everyday purposes.  Also, I'm thinking of setting up a tip line for the retrieval of my black gloves. 

Here are the rapidly rushing falls at Otter Creek:

There's a whole lot of crazy cold mist coming off that water.

Here's a moderately calmer section of Otter Creek (but the water was still rushing along....if you look carefully you can see waves and snow):

And finally, here's some ice, snow, and cold water (or, as I like to call it H20, three ways):

Merry Noonie!

In honor of Christmas Eve/Christmas, I decided to blog Wednesday's lunch.  Here are some pictures of the sandwiches at Noonie Deli in Middlebury, Vermont.  It's the first thing I want to do when I get to Vermont.  I'd like to say that it's the best sandwich place ever, but since I like so many different kinds of sandwiches, I can't really make that claim.  I can say, however, that Noonie's is hands-down awesome.  I'll avoid a discussion of the super-creepy Esquire peice on the Noonie's Girl, and let the sandwiches speak for themselves.

For my veggie friends, my veggie sandwich from lunch yesterday:

I think the word that best describes this sandwich is huge.  And I could have had more veggies if I wanted them. 

And N's lunch, the Purple's Pleasure, which is very much not a vegetarian sandwich:

That sandwich is crazy.

Snow!

Things finally stopped looking like a plot device in White Christmas up here in Vermont.
