New England Winter

Canadian Geese resting on the ice
Barrington, RI

On my way to the salon I drive along the Seekonk River and past the Barrington Town Hall and cemetery. The drive is always lovely and I have meant to stop and take pictures for a while. We got a couple of inches of fresh snow last night and today was cold (22 degrees) but very sunny, so I decided to stop on my way home and take a few quick photos.
