Nice sunshine and the last of the yellow leaves made for a pretty reflection in the creek out back.

A light dusting of snow added a quiet layer to a country home….

Receding snow. The late sun warmed this bit of the woods and showed off the red of that hut which is unusual for this area. We just don't have red huts. I don't know what it's for, it's only been there for a few years. I think it would make a lovely tiny house.

Happy Tree-mendous Tuesday!

If Autumn had a going away party (probably thrown by me) I imagine this is what it would look like. It would be a magical affair in the forest, the floor covered in autumn leaves and the bare graceful trees waving their lovely arms. Perhaps the guest and gracious presence of Winter would be there to bid her farewell and to sprinkle a fine silvery dusting on the leaves as they danced. It would be a grand farewell fit for a Queen as Autumn is;) And by now you know I have a very vivid imagination:-P

Just caught my eye

In the middle of the hardest winter most of us has known, it often seemed otherwise, but the spring will come again. In fact it's just around the corner. In the meantime, the season of bare trees has its own joys: especially when a bit of Sahara sand is making the sunsets more intense.

The trees are bare but a carpet of confetti on the ground of Autumn colours.

A bare tree stands in the desert as the sun sets on Chimney Rock in Capitol Reef.

(EXPLORE) I'm interrupting my Costa Rica pics to share these lovely ladies I saw at my favorite nature place yesterday, Fort Whyte.

This food station is always occupied with red squirrels (see below) and smaller birds, but these gals weren't too concerned....they just walked right past us & started eating.

Finally some snow!!!

A dreamlike winter scene at Little Hump Mountain.

The combination of cold, fog and wind create rime ice which clings to the tree branches and wildflower stalks.

Winter temperatures in northern Illinois have lately been unseasonably warm, causing melting ice on local lakes, as can be seen in this image processed in a painterly style for Sliders Sunday.

Many thanks to Shadowhouse for the textures!

On a late winter's afternoon, with the sun low, the Dakota building towers look very ghostly in the background of Central Park.
