LAST PHOTOS OF FEBRUARY 2023

MEDIA WAR STORIES – A SNOWY DAY FOR LAUGHTER AND STORIES
It was a snowy day and I was cooking soup. Soup is easy, but it’s an all-day event. If you want it to be tasty, there are no shortcuts. You have to cook, taste, simmer, taste again. It was good,… Read More ›
SNOW IS FALLING
I think it is falling from coast to coast. We were supposed to get rain, but weather forecasts are these days no better than “best guesses.” It’s a slow, gentle falling of snow, but it is also bitterly cold, so… Read More ›
IT’S STILL WINTER
When I got up this morning, it was snowing like crazy. That was because yesterday, I dared suggest that winter was ending. I should know better. I took pictures, then went back to bed. When I got up a few… Read More ›
THE GREAT WHITE HURRICANE OF MARCH 11, 1888

BIRDS IN THE BUSH WITH SNOW

WINTER BIRDS IN RAIN & SNOW
When I got up and went out to feed the birds, it was pouring — and warm. Less than an hour later, the temperature dropped and a pretty heavy snow was falling. Tomorrow it’s supposed to snow and rain in… Read More ›
WINTER ARRIVES (SORT OF)
It rained like mad in the morning. An hour later it was snowing like mad. It’s a mad, mad, mad, mad world. I processed two photos in black and white. It’s a monochrome world in winter. It’s not a lot… Read More ›
THE CROWD BY THE FEEDER
After all my gratitude at the lack of snow this winter, of course it snowed this morning. We only got a few inches — maybe three? But not far away, they got half a foot and the week’s not over… Read More ›
DAWN ON A SNOWY MORNING
Not just any old snowy morning. The very first snowy morning. All the forecasters said we’d get almost nothing. But Garry’s old pal is semi-retired, but he still very connected to the weather. He wrote to say “Oh yes you… Read More ›
FIRST SNOW FLASHBACK, 11/23/2012
This is a flashback Friday on Wednesday – a typical “Thanksgiving” snow. A little bit of white stuff. Gone in a few hours. A warning of more to come. Early snow reminds us to find the shovels and hope we… Read More ›
SNOW? UH OH. IT MUST BE WINTER
Share Your World 14th November 2022 Yes, snow. Out west. Up north. And a wee bit right here, though not a big “snow event.” This is the time of year when snow shows up. Sometimes, we get quite a lot, but… Read More ›

THE COLD IS COMING
It’s going to get cold here. Soon. Obviously, this being New England, we knew it was going to get cold. We just hoped it would hold off a couple of weeks before it happened. Longer if possible. Skipping winter would… Read More ›
HOT OR COLD
CBWC: Hot or Cold One hot, one cold. It turns out to be hard to show hot than to show cold in black and white.
CARDINALS IN THE SNOW
Given the temperatures and the dryness, it seems a good time to remember cold and snow and how beautiful the red Cardinals are against all that whiteness. I promise to never complain about the cold again!
