Merry Christmas

It's an almost White Christmas this year. This picture was taken 2 weeks ago, a day after the first major snowstorm in front of my apartment building. We have had frigid below-freezing temperatures since the Thanksgiving weekend but yesterday was almost-Fall like, and thus the thaw. There are some flurries this morning on my way back home from Church.
I had always greeted everyone "Merry Christmas" several days before the actual day my entire life, until I got to the States. Now, having some friends who are non-Christian, I got used to saying "Happy Holidays" -- especially around the workplace.
Today is Christmas day, and heck, it's my blog space.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Can you find it?

One of the shots I got this morning was in the northwest area of the White House which looks like a Press Conference spot. The Washington Memorial is seen in the background. It was after I took the picture that I noticed something moved. Can you find the presidential squirrel?

First Picture

Just Checking how downloaded pictures will appear. I took this shot because I was reminded of home.
