Sunny Road But Frozen Roots!

I must say that as I was traveling the highways to work today, I was truly surprised. There was not a cloud in the sky and the day was streaming with sunshine!!
As usual, at work as I had a few moments, I slipped outside to take some pictures. The road was golden in the rays of the sun.
I discovered a treasure chest, just bulging with nuts and acorns which apparently the local squirrels had been busily filling during the fall.
Now although it wasn't really cold and I was without a coat, I was quite taken back when I saw a slim tree just by the lake with it's roots frozen solid !! Suddenly I didn't feel so warm anymore and went back into the house in a hurry just in time to take this picture of my client who was quite cozy in her bed and was taking a little rest from her reading!
