Cold Thoughts

It's cold outside. That makes things hard, in more ways then one. It's hard to stay motivated to do the things that need to be done. Hibernation tries to set in. The harshness of the winter environment makes me appreciate the coming Spring that much more. Come on Springtime!

Winter Greenery?

As the snow swirls outside and the temperatures drop, I find myself yearning for something green to photograph. As that is a near impossibility outside, I think to myself that I have all the green I need around me inside my house. Houseplants can make such a difference in the home environment, both physically and mentally. The different colored leaves; the different textures in the plants, makes for interesting imagery and can make the mind wander to warmer, sunnier climates. I feel better already!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

The New Year is a time for new beginnings. These two little critters were born today, on New Years Day. So, as they grow, I hope all your dreams grow. I hope all your goals are achieved. Have a safe and very Happy New Year everyone!

Color in the Winter Woods

The winter woods can be so bland. The leaves and wildflowers are gone. Most of the songbirds, aside from the occasional flock of hearty American Robins, Bluejays or Cardinals, have left for the season. Bright colors are a luxury this time of year. It's nice to occasionally find some to admire.

Winter Neighbor

Caught one of my neighbors browsing for some lunch. She caught me spying on her too. I wonder how wild animals survive outside through the winter. I know that they have for millions of years. But still, I wonder....

Last of the Season

The last of the season for me at George Rogers Clark Park. Rather fitting that the leaves are dieing as the park itself dies. Although there is hope that the park will be reopened, I don't see it happening any time soon. What a sin against the people of this area. A sign of the times...I suppose.
