It's snowing--again. Big lazy flakes floating gently from an overcast sky. I need to remind myself of why we moved to Kingston, so this morning I put together this collection of one hundred photos taken over our three years here to remind myself of the romance of this historic place. There's no particular order. All photos are of places within a short walk of my front door.
