February was so cold that I did not go out much. Coldest month of the last 100 years...global warming, really !

 

After my latest addiction to Sortilege(Maple syrup Whisky) I found this Gin. Gin originates on the northern frontier where the vast Canadian tundra meets icy seas(from web site)

Found this fine Moose on a very cold day but she seemed just fine. Although her food options are obviously pretty slim this time of year!

More snow on the way! It is February after all.

The temperature dropped back down into the high 30s this morning. It doesn’t stop the green. But it does mean I got to enjoy this beautiful morning alone. Everybody else is complaining about it. I’ve loving it. That’s pretty much how my life goes.

omg wow!! EXPLORE #2 thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Recent holiday in Gran Canaria - had a go at taking several images several minutes apart in a Panorama - looking to get the cool light into the warm capturing texture in the dunes - pretty pleased with the outcome.

The great thing about winter is the absolute lack of people out early on a cold day. I skated my way onto the dock and had a seat and went low and wide.

Really cold - all the cars had thick white sparkly coats, and the meadow was monochrome. The frost took a while to melt, even when the sun came out (and it did, we had another day of clear blue skies).

The crystals looked so clean and pure.I saw icicles on the banks leading down to the falls, as thick as my arm.

"Cold Duck" (Kalte Ente) is the name of a wine-based bottled drink of German origin. *

 

At least two of these three ducks do indeed look really cold. Nonetheless, an increasing number of ducks now stay here in our area in winter rather than migrating south.

 

They are riding out turbulent winter flooding on the Swiss stretch of the ordinarily placid River Wiese. It is a Swiss tributary of the Rhine.

 

* COLD DUCK (Kalte Ente):

Cold Duck wine-based bottled drinks are sold in the USA and other places, but the origin is German.

It is a fun story.

From:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_Duck

"The recipe was based on a German legend involving Prince Clemens Wenceslaus of Saxony ordering the mixing of all the dregs of unfinished wine bottles with Champagne. The wine produced was given the name Kaltes Ende ("cold end" in German), until it was altered to the similar-sounding term Kalte Ente meaning "cold duck".[1] The exact recipe now varieswinter, but the original combined one part of Mosel wine, one part Rhine wine with one part of Champagne, seasoned with lemons and balm mint."

The Vanderbilt Mansion National Historic Site at Hyde Park, New York was built and used as a vacation home in the country. It is on the cliffs above the Hudson river, which, big as it is, was smoothly frozen over and covered with snow. There was a bitterly icy wind driving snowflakes past the classical style urns on the porch, and the lions head symbols high on the limestone facade. Even expensive things get cold, I suppose.
