April Fool

Seriously? It is April. April Fools day has passed. Who is the biggest fool at last? We all want spring showers and pretty flowers.

The Big White BIrd

The very early overcast skies this morning lent a mystical blue magic on the lake. Fitting for the bright white pelicans and a pop of orange provided by their beaks.

Eye Witness

This morning I woke to a heavy fog and below freezing temps. I knew that meant some pretty frost awaited me on my walk. But when I took my first shot of the trees along the lake, to my dismay, the camera battery was dead. Using my phone camera would have to do. It was hard. I mean, there was a photo op every 20 feet. I kept telling myself that at least I had a camera on my phone, and just to be awake and out that early was something in itself. Quality of this breath taking sight is ...eh. And yet, I was there and saw God's gift with my own eyes.

Ice ice

Slick, scary, treacherous ice....What's not to LOVE

The 'Not for another 150 year eclipse'

The clouds prevented me from seeing the eclipse this morning. And they also kept the sun rising from view as well. That is except for a few short minutes.

Numbing cold

When the temps are in the single digits, the fingers grow so numb I have to put them in my mouth to warm up, the glistening sparkles from the morning frost make it well worth the cold

Winter Treasure

Bitter cold...biting winds...deep snow and, beautiful winter treasures
