Snow on Trees

I'm milking this last snow storm for all it's worth.  Today we had piles of mulch beside piles of snow.  The next season is ready to move in.

Another Look

I can't resist posting one more set of images from Friday's snowstorm.  It was such a nice treat.

A Fine Spring Day

I am happy for one more day of snow.  I felt a bit cheated this year since so many of our snow storms happened overnight and left me with nothing to photograph.  Wandering around in the snow with my camera is one of my favorite activities. 

Sunshine on Snow

I emerged into a glittering winter wonderland this morning.  So beautiful on the trees.  Not so great on the roads.  I slid through a stop sign on the way to the studio.  I'm sure to a passerby it appeared as if I didn't bother to break, which I was trying my hardest to do. 

A Bit More

These photos were taken about 6 hours after my previous post.  I'm back inside and back to my book.

Snow Day

I'm looking forward to spending today curled up with a book.  Seems like a good day to get some reading done with a few breaks to walk in the snow.

Weekend

After quite a few weeks of top notch productivity my studio work hit a few snags this week.  They were as follows: Holiday, Snow Day, Work Day, Sick Day.  Friday I dragged my still sick self to the studio to meet Alden, my fabulous assistant, and actually got some things done.  Today I had my Sketchbook class and Olivia and Matt had her all day Temple tour.  I caught up with them in time to see the dorm and drive home in the snow.  A pretty serious snow storm is raging.  Sadly, it's supposed to turn to rain by morning.

Eating Snow

I'm happy to report that last night's promised snow actually arrived.  First time all winter that's happened.  Not sure it was enough to justify canceling school but there you go.  This female Yellow-bellied Sapsucker was in the same location as the previous male.  She was also very much enjoying the snow.

A Little Bit of Snow

We might not be getting much snow but it sure is cold!

Keeping Up

It seems like all winter I was struggling to find images to blog and now with the huge influx of Florida photos and spring arriving here I can't keep up.  But as I'm sorting and organizing I find a few more photos of winter to post.  And as I struggle to breathe in the heavily pollinated air I think back to how nice it was to walk in the snow.

Spring Snow

I don't think our St. Patrick's Day snow will hang around for long.  It will be replaced soon by other things.  I'm using up most of what I have to say on my three classes so this blog has been pretty quiet.  I expect that will continue into May when, perhaps, I will find more to say.  It's been a bit slow on the images as well this year.  My birding project has me taking a lot of shots that aren't good enough for the blog so today I decided to stop over at Scott Arboretum to take some pictures of the small flowers beginning to emerge.

Snowy Walk

A walk through 10" of untrammeled snow.  Well, mostly untrammeled, there were little foot prints here and there.
