The View Keeps Changing

[A note about tomorrow: I won't have a Michigander Monday profile for you to read. Sorry about that. There's no shortage of great folks to profile, but I've been neck-deep in a couple of projects lately and neglected to send out enough interview invitations. But MM will be back soon.]

February has a reputation for being a fairly dismal month - and it's not an entirely undeserved rep. But there's a real beauty to the snow and the outdoors at times -- a beauty that changes rapidly.

All of this in the span of about an hour or less.

Sometimes, when you take the chance to stop and look, the view can be amazing.
