Eighth Avenue from the NYTimes building

Last night it snowed, just a dusting. I had seen the flakes swirl as I walked home, but didn't think much of it until this morning when I saw that a thin layer of powder had covered the rooftops.

This past weekend I baked cookies with a friend. She refused to play Christmas music, but a few nights before I had been sated at my friend's tree-trimming party. After looking for the holiday spirit since Thanksgiving, I had managed to find it.

I can't believe that Christmas is next week. Looking back on the year it seems full, and yet it's hard to believe that the time passes as quickly as it does, much as one might want to slow it down (and much as it occasionally seems to be passing interminably slow).

I took this photo while waiting in the lobby of the New York Times building for a friend. I had just returned from Croatia and had made a date with her for lunch. I was early and, as it was raining outside, I ducked into the building to take shelter. Looking back at the pedestrians outside, I dug my camera out of my bag and shot this frame.
