January 2009 Waterfall outside of my classroom at Forsyth Country Day School was frozen.

Soothing sight needed as we were confined indoors by rain. We haven't seen rain for months so have forgotten how to cope!. It did try to sleet but thankfully thought better of it. The south sides now have pockmarks of land showing through - the north sides are still pristine white.

 

MrMV is very unwell. His whole ear is swollen and red, but the doctor doesn't work until 5.30 pm tomorrow . :-(

Smoke On The Water...

 

Trying to catch the train, by a winter day...

It snowed for a while around noon hour, so I tried shooting some more snow. The condition was perfect. It was below -8C and not overly windy. I shot all of these on a laser disc in my garden shed and am happy with the results

The previous day and evening around 15 cm of snow had fallen, but the next morning the winter sun tried to deal with the morning fog. A clear blue sky would appear during the day, but temperatures remained below 0°C througout.

For some reason I like to take pics of this old garage thing across the road.

Over the past few months I've visited quite a few cities, most of them for the first time. Out of all of them, I think Saint Louis would be the one place I wouldn't mind living. It's a wonderful place with a great food culture and a lot to do. Take a trip there if you get a chance, you won't be disappointed.

Southern Australia is now officially a couple of weeks into our Autumn season. Tomorrow, 21 March, is our Autumn Equinox. To me this is the beginning of the cold weather and I have a need to be doing some knitting. If I was in the north of Australia it would be still very hot and the knitting would stay in the locker. Knitting is one of my cold weather hobbies and when I get very cold I drag the previously knitted blanket out to keep me warn while I knit. What will I knit this season....? Maybe another blanket for one of the grandkids.

Yesterday's sun trying hard to break through the cloud ~ it was so cold so my wife and decided to go for a quick walk and thankfully I had my iPhone with me, albeit, it always is with me!!

 

Thanks to everyone who views this photo, adds a note, leaves a comment and of course BIG thanks to anyone who chooses to favourite my photo .... Thanks to you all!

It was a sunny but cold and windy Hessian Hill in Cornish today.

Photo taken 01.16.24. In Texas, it's not often that ponds start to ice up. It's been cold for several days now. The temperatures have ranged from the low teens to mid 20s. That's just cold enough to put a thin layer of ice around a few of the banks. Photo copyright Clif Bosler 2024

On the edge of an Area of Outständing Natural Beauty and known as Prospect Stile, this vantage point is well known for its magnificent views of the surrounding. countryside. The Mendip Hills lie in the middle distance with the Severn Estuary beyond and Wales visible on the horizon on a clear day. The formation of two reservoirs: Blagdon Lake formed by the damming of the River Yeo in 1905 and Chew Lake by the damming of the River Chew in 1956, actually enhanced the vista.

The sad loss of so many trees due to Dutch elm disease in the 1970s had the side . effect of revealing more clearly the field boundaries that have resulted from the changing pattern of land management over countless centuries.

Yes, today was cold. But, it was clear and beautiful! So, I went to Assateague Island. Normally, a photographic subjects will come to me when I'm there.

Many find Fall the most resonant of seasons. The changing of colors and the end of life for each leaf is a subtle and chilling reminder that all things are impermanent, all things end.

The Coney Island Polar Bear Club is the oldest winter bathing organization in the United States, whose members regularly take polar bear plunges in the winters. The club was founded by famed health advocate Bernarr McFadden in 1903.

 

The club began using the event to raise funds for Special Olympics starting in 2005, and Camp Sunshine in 2007. In 2018, the club decided to support local groups and charities and began partnering with the Alliance for Coney Island to raise funds for local nonprofit organizations.

 

Members swim in the Atlantic Ocean at Coney Island, New York, United States every Sunday from November through April. Every New Year's Day, the Club is joined by participants from around the country, who partake in an annual swim. The 2005 event had 300 participants and 6000 onlookers. The Chief Polar Bear blows a conch shell to gather the swimmers before they run into the water.

 

The club was mentioned in popular culture. It is mentioned on the season three episode of Seinfeld, The Pez Dispenser In the episode Kramer informs Jerry that he has joined the club, claiming it to be 'invigorating'. It was also publicized on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, in a taped segment by Dan Bakkedahl about the effects of global warming on the club in faux-nature documentary style.

We had so much snow over night, even so my kids school still remained open, even though most other schools in the area were closed. When I picked the kids up from school the first thing we did was have a snowball fight and make a snowman.........well snow is still a novelty here! My kids are so jealous when I tell them of my childhood holidays in Canada in the snow, I have promised them that we will visit my family soon in the winter months, so they can experience it too.
