The Colors of Winter #5

We usually think of the crocus as a spring flower but here in the Pacific Northwest we have had a very balmy January and this crocus bloomed today. It's still winter and this is colorful so I guess it counts as a color of winter.

Georg, one of my partners in the political trenches over at Running Scared, sent me this lovely photo she took. Be sure and click on the picture to see the larger image. Sorry, I don't know where it is. Enjoy.
Update
Georg tells us about the picture.

It's a picture of Green Point on Raquette Lake, NY, at about 5:30 am on a summer morning in July, 2004. The fog is on its way in. 10 minutes later, and the lake was covered with pea soup. This one was all about timing.
