Sunrise over Briggs Road on a quiet Groundhog Day

Here's a photo from the back roads of Menifee on the east side of town. Leslie Johnson captured this picture of what she called a "frosty, steamy sunrise" over Briggs Road and Holland Road on Groundhog Day.

Leslie is now eligible for the Photo of the Month award in our "Menifee in Pictures" contest. And by the way, back in Pennsylvania on Feb. 2, Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, which legend tells us means there are six more weeks of winter in store for us. Do you believe it?

"Menifee in Pictures" is a regular feature on Menifee 24/7. Readers are invited to contribute photos for publication. Email your photos as a .jpg file to menifee247info@gmail.com and selected photos will be published, along with your name as the photographer.
