After the Storm

Winter Storm

A winter storm is predicted.

Snow should accumulate up to 12 inches

with wind chills in the -40's.

Brrrr!

But for now, the temp is pleasant and snow is falling,

so we took a walk in the woods.

 

Long Winter Nights

What to do on a long winter night?

Why, face painting, of course.

Granddaughter Liddy paints grandma.

She nailed it!

 Thanks to Aunt Jamie for providing the fun!

Winter Sunset

Ice Follies

Winter is ebbing and flowing.  

The creek was frozen, then we got a warm spell with 3 inches of rain,

causing flooding and then a cold snap.

The freeze-up begins again.

As the water falls, icicles form along the creek bank.

Rocks, once again, become emtombed.

An ice pendulum hangs from a branch.

Nature's wind chimes hang over the creek.

Frosty curlicues.

Merry Christmas!

Winter Ride

Our 6 inches of snow is melting,

so we decided to ride again, before it melted away.

Ready to ride

Looking down over the creek

We spotted Thumper

And Bambi

And a deteriorating hornets' nest

It was a fine day for a ride in the snow.
