Winter
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 MORNING DAWDLE
The Morning Dawdler – Questions from Rory This morning, I realized the bluebirds are back. It’s early, but the weather is not wintry at all. I guess they decided they don’t have to go someplace warm since it’s plenty warm… Read More ›
WHERE HAVE ALL THE SEASONS GONE?
Long time passing. One of the great things about living where we live used to be enjoying the changing seasons. We never had much in the way of spring, but we sure had a whole lot of winter, a long,… Read More ›
THE GREAT WHITE HURRICANE OF MARCH 11, 1888
It has snowed every night for the past week but only a few inches at a time. We often get more snow (or rain) later in the day, but every morning when I get up, the ground and the deck… Read More ›
BIRDS IN THE BUSH WITH SNOW
When it snows, you can see how many dozens of birds live in the forsythia hedge in the backyard. I couldn’t get sharp pictures. This was one of the times when the autofocus couldn’t figure out where to focus. Between… 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 ›
ON A GOLDEN AFTERNOON – IN JANUARY?
I looked out the window and the light was golden against the trees. It’s not the color you usually see in the middle of winter. I associate that color with autumn and sometimes summer. Maybe it was because of all… Read More ›
TOMORROW AND TOMORROW
I can’t begin to tell you how very much I want to not “do” tomorrow. It’s my first iron infusion and I have zero faith in the hospital’s ability to find a functional vein. I have defeated a couple of… 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 ›
THE CHANGING SEASONS – DECEMBER 2022
The Changing Seasons, December 2022 Funny thing. I had just pulled the pictures in my camera out and processed four of them. These are also the last shots for the year. I had no idea what was on the card having… 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 ›
FIRE FIRE BURNING BRIGHT
CFFC: Weathered, Burned, or Burning Wood In the middle of the tepee, I had a fire pit lined with fire bricks. A tepee doesn’t need a chimney because a tepee is a chimney. During the years of my teepee, I got… 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 ›
WALKING SQUARE 8
WALKING IN WILDER WEATHER They have forecast snow for tomorrow night and maybe Wednesday too. Not a lot, at least not this far south, but they will get a wallop up in Maine and in Canada as well as out… Read More ›
BEFORE THE SNOW FLIES
WQW #40: GETTING READY FOR THE COLD Around here, in the northeast, you have to plan for the cold. We always say “Need to get that done before the snow flies.” Given the erraticness of the weather, the snow could… 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 ›
WORLD SHARING STAGE 1
Share Your World improvised: Just in Case Melanie is having connection issues so here are “world share” questions just in case she can’t get back on. It’s the end of the year and I just hit the “donut hole” in my… Read More ›
SUNSET ON THE ROAD HOME
I took these pictures a couple of years ago and I was never quite happy with them. I went back to the originals and redid them with minimal processing and while they are less colorful, I like them better. The… Read More ›
