a harbinger of coming days

How was I to know that this snowy Wednesday morn would be an omen for the weekend's impending storm?

I took a similar shot from this vantage point in the summer. The colors are vastly different this time around, no?

goldilocks and the three leaves

It wasn't until I framed this shot that the lighting jumped out at me. The mid-afternoon sun hits these just right.

later on the walk

She called this one the best of the day. Do you agree?

color, i say!

So I couldn't get my perfect vision. This turned out more colorful anyhow!

like white on rice

On a paper plate in a snowstorm. This was as close as I got to the vision in my head. Thoughts?

picket fences

Taking a photowalk in the snow is exhausting. Fortunately, this fence wasn't too far from our apartment. I wanted to get just fence and snowy shadows, but I couldn't frame it without leaving footprints. Too bad.

snow tires?

Probably not. I read about folks around winter climates biking to get places despite the snow and ice. I don't see that too much around here, but I am tempted to get a single-speed mountain bike for just such an occasion.

old man winter

For the second time this season, we had some snow. Real, measurable snow. Much better than last year's slate of sleet and ice and rain.

wind farm

Last week, my kiddos were learning about renewable energy sources in science. Wind was one of the options discussed. Knowing I would see a wind farm that weekend, I promised I'd take a photo or two. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get too close to them. These windmills are absolutely massive. I would guess each blade is between fifty and a hundred feet long. That they turn so silently is mind-boggling.
