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

Sounds of the snow fall

Sometimes it is so quiet, I can actually hear the snow fall. And to find a spot to listen among the trees and talking geese on the river is topped off with the perfect place to sit and do just that

Lovely Winter

Winter. First impressions are cold, snow and 'can't wait till spring'. Me? I like it. I love the snow. I love how there is less chaos. No gardens to plant, no yards to manicure. No vacations to take, bikes to ride....just like nature it is a time to rest. And through my eyes, I love the textures and the shades of a neutral color palette. The shadows on the snow, the tiny flakes piled on seed heads, a leaf still clinging on a branch. I really do love winter

Early Winter Magic

Such a joy when spring arrived. A delight when the warmth of summer and the glory in my garden graced me. Autumn had such breath taking moments, I will never forget. Now there are hints of the winter to come. Starting out with little twinkles of magic in the early morning.
