Winter Walkabout

Here is a simple photo I took earlier today with an inexpensive point and shoot compact camera. I always have at least a small camera like this in my pocket just in case.
Like it says in someone's ad.... "Don't leave home without it."

When I got home, I converted it to black and white for the look you see here.
For comparison, here is the original photograph in color.

Which do you prefer?
I think of the color shot as a snapshot, and the black and white as a photograph.
Would love to hear what you think.
Happy Shooting.
