It has been such a mild winter here in Northwest Illinois.  We haven't had much snow at all but when I woke up last week there was just enough snow to seem like a wonderland.  I had to grab my camera and capture the feeling.  It was like a lace on the trees.  This is directly across the street from my house.  I love the snow. 

I opened this photo and ran an action on it to give it the special look you see here.
