Camera + Snow = A Hell of a Lot of Fun

Memorial Hill, one of the best sledding hills in Roanoke.

This kid soared off his tiny ramp.

Struggling up the hill and having a blast.

Help me, Dad, I'm stuck ...

... OK, sweetie, I'll carry the sled.

Dad and the boy: a bonding moment.

Sledding is definitely a family activity.

Took a run over to Memorial Bridge Hill this morning to capture some of what you're looking at here. The most important impression I came away with was just how much I miss my grandgirl, Madeline. The last time I was at the hill, she and I were sledding together, the little kid and the old man laughing so hard it hurt. So did the ground when I bounced off it time after time.
