Spider Party

The wind was blowing this spectacular pinwheel up and down -- it was hard to make an in-focus image, but well worth it.

Pond Plants

When the pond plants turn green and lush, their newness is like a contagious smile! See close up below.

Spring is Here

Not as showy as daffodils, but always a true sign that spring is here -- Myrtle.

Good Clouds

Sometimes all you need is to stand by some water and take in the beauty that surrounds it.

Snowballs Again

 

We didn't get much snow this winter, but the plow left behind some piles of snow that got dirty and looked kind of beautiful -- especially with my snowball farm.

Stone Wall

The really interesting thing about old stone walls is the dark space between the stones.

Wood Knot

Hard to pass by a beautiful wood knot without pausing to admire it, even if it's in a telephone pole.

Snowballs

A recent snowfall produced just enough snow so I could use my new snowball maker. It only took about a minute to make these. After I took pictures, I had the distinct pleasure of throwing each one, and it was so more fun than I had remembered!

Sweet Gulls

Crushed Bricks

In the aftermath of some flooding, the banks of this little brook are suddenly lined with crushed bricks. I cannot imagine where they came from, as they were definitely not there before . . . but what a gorgeous color!

Happy New Year!

Wishing you a happy, healthy and peaceful new year!

Pears

Bought a bag of pears, and at the bottom of the bag were two pears with their leaves still attached, so couldn't resist . . .

Marsh

This wasn't a very colorful autumn as far as the leaves go, but the grasses are gorgeous shades of greens and browns and pinks. In 2008 I made an image of this same spot at the beginning of fall -- click here.

Woolly Bear Says

When the orange section is larger than the black section on a woolly bear, this means it's going to be a mild winter! That would be nice . . . we'll see.
