‘Beware the Blackthorn Winter’ is a country saying about a spell of cold weather in early April which often coincides with the blossoming of the blackthorn (Prunus Spinosa). The pure white of the blackthorn blossom matches the snow or hoar frost covering the fields nearby and almost invariably bitter north easterly winds. The longer days and sun gaining strength at this time of year often give a spell of warmer weather - but then the Blackthorn Winter comes along and reminds us it’s not quite summer yet. Statistically, we are more likely to have snow at Easter than at Christmas.
A Blackthorn Winter can be described as the opposite of an Indian summer.
Blackthorn white blossoms appear before the leaves, creating a contrast against the dark smooth thorny branches. The blackthorn flowers eventually become purple sloes, ripening in autumn and harvested traditionally in October or November, after the first frosts, and used to make a Sloe gin liqueur.

Hi my friends! I was missing taking photos these days.
The cold weather doesn't help so much. I don't have a good car to travel safely in the snow routes and the cold weather is not good for the health of my daughter, so here I am at home.
So I think landscape photography it should wait a little and I should try other things, don't you think?
I hope everyone is having a good holidays season.
Here in Portland Oregon we are having some days with snow and that is not so regular. Crazy weather.
Stay cozy my friends Winter is here at this part of the world.

A progression of (4) panoramas of today's snow shower sunset.
We had a rather windy and cold day with snow showers off and on throughout the day, that is not virga falling from the clouds but ice pellets and or snow.
This morning, I decided to go back to this schoolhouse; only 33 minutes drive from my home; that I stopped by some days ago, so I can capture the schoolhouse with some snow on the ground before it all gone later today. I also rarely photo something during the golden hour - meaning the last hour before sunset and the first hour after sunrise - so why not grab this opportunity for me to see how good it turns out.

Yesterday it was -28C, but sunny with a beautiful blue sky..so I went to the nearby golf course to try for a couple snowy scenes.
My fingers got so cold I had to plod back to the car..(snow is over a foot deep where I stood) Jumped out a second time and noticed some little birds very high in the spruce trees... and did manage, finally, with frozen fingers...to get a few of them too....

There is no psychedelic lightshow going on in the house, it is the reflection of the setting sun !
Thanks to Maria_Globetrotter for help and advice!
Over on Facebook, fellow photographer and friend Rick Derevan nominated me to do the seven day Nature Photography challenge. So I thought, since I’m processing and posting some images I haven’t posted anywhere before, I should probably share some of those images here with my friends on Flickr too! It only seems right. So if you see some images that are relatively new and out of sequence, that’s what’s up here.
We spent 3 days along the Madison River last winter with this beautiful female Bobcat as she went about hunting, napping, bathing and all those things that Bobcats do. It was a magical experience and one I won’t soon forget. In this photo she is moving down the hill across the river from us searching for rodents to eat.
Who's looking forward to the winter? ;-)
Here's the picture of the stone barn, also known as The Frank Schott Stone Barn, located in western Minnesota, was constructed by German immigrant Frank Schott in 1923, showcasing exemplary Midwestern architectural innovation.
According to the Minnesota Historical Society's historical account, the structure's completion took nearly 20 years.
Following the collapse of the barn's wooden roof in 1993, the stone walls continue to stand.
This is one of the abandoned properties I stopped by yesterday, with some inches of snow we received overnight, but at this moment, the snow stopped but windy and very cold of around 12°. Brrrr!!

Stephen Foster Folk Culture Center State Park is a Florida State Park located in White Springs off U.S. 41, along the Suwannee River in north Florida.
Stephen Foster is famous for having written the song "Old Folks At Home," also known as "Way Down Upon the Suwannee River." The song, referring nostalgically to "home far, far away," is Florida's state song.
The Suwannee River (also spelled Suwanee River) is a major river that runs through South Georgia southward into Florida in the southern United States. It is a wild blackwater river, about 246 miles (396 km) long. The Suwannee River is the site of the prehistoric Suwanee Straits which separated peninsular Florida from the panhandle.
