These icicles, some 3 to 6 feet in length, have been hanging off the side of our building since last Sunday night's snow. I thought they'd fall off when it warmed up mid-week, but they're still hanging on. ;)

As I type this, an “arctic air invasion” is pushing its way south to us in Texas, leaving much of the country feeling as cold as a mid-winter’s day. While I’m sitting here thinking of the precautions and preparations I’ll take for the impending cold spell, I wanted to share a list of the most important items I carry with me and how those correspond to preparing for cold weather. ~ Bryan
During an emergency is a lousy time to think of all the things you should have been carrying. The important thing is not to wait until the last minute to prepare.

I quite like the expression on this lady's face, maybe a bit surprised..but definitely not annoyed as she gave me a smile later. :)
Parsonsfield, Maine.
Practicing my long exposure water photography on Brown Brook in Parsonsfield today.
It has been cold enough lately to create some nice ice formations along the brook.
Blow Blow thou winter wind
Thou art not so unkind
As man's ingratitude…
…Though thou the waters warp,
Thy sting is not so sharp
As friend remember'd not.
This painting is from the end of his career, and helps explain Sir John's popularity with the crowds at the Royal Academy. At the centre is the hapless dog, divided in its loyalty to the shivering mother with her child, and the man who is deserting her.
It was not altogether a cheery site that he selected for his work-a bleak and draughty place near the gamekeeper's house on Kinnoull Hill-but the scene in front of it was what he wanted, and that was all he ever thought about when bent on business. Looking northward, you see the road winding away around Corsey Hill to join the old highway from Perth to Dundee, described by Sir Walter Scott as "the entrance to the Highlands" on the righ appear some of the fine old Scotch firs that embelish the craggy side of Kinnoull, and on the left are the windswept fields of the Hatton farm. There then in the midst of the snow, he planted himself and his paraphenalia, and bravely worked on his painting from day to day until he had got all he needed to enable him to finish it in the studio.
It is now over twenty years ago that I made my first visit to the places in Tayside that so often formed the background to some of Millais best known paintings, and in particular were the subject of his later landscape paintings. I had become aquainted with Millais Pre-Raphaelite works whilst a Foundation Student at art college, in the mid to late 1970’s the Victorian painters were once again being looked at and enjoyed, their often sentimental detailed and colourful littereary based works were a perfect foil to the then in vogue minimalism of British post – war art. I find it hard to say why it was Millais landscapes, or at least the ones I’d seen only via reproduction attracted me. It was not all of his later lanscapes either, Chill October, Lingering Autumn and Winter Fuel, were initially the best known and in most respects those which had the most magnetic appeal. As with the early and perhaps Millais most completely successful work Autumn Leaves, the best of the landscapes convey a powerful sense of time and place, a bleak and brooding mood that is somehow very compelling. I was eager to see the entire series of Scottish Landscapes, or at least see reproductions of them, some which are now in private collections. I had only seen reproduction of these, and then only in black and white. Strangely these photographic reproductions on a small scale give some of the landscapes, particularly Murthly Moss and The Old Garden an almost photo-realistic quality, I knew that as with the Pre Raphaelite works the artist had claimed to paint every touch from nature. Indeed all the landscapes were painted during a comparable period in France when impressionism was flourishing in France, they appear a curious cul-de-sac and to some a mere footnote to one of the 1850’s most promising young artists. It would appear that the landscapes unlike the portraiture or even the grand subjects of Millais last three decades were painted in parallell with his other preferred Highland activities of fishing and hunting. Typically these works were inconsistent, Flowing to The Sea and Murthly Water appear quite poor from a compositional point of view. The Moon Is Up and The Deserted Garden are not entirely successful attempts to convincingly paint foggy distance or nightfall. What Millais did best and perhaps like no other was to render detail and natural objects such as trees and open stretches of moorland with an almost uncanny eye and shorthand and colour as to make these un-picturesque works convey a powerful sentiment of the changing season echoing a human sense of loss and wistfulness for a simpler more innocent world.
The treatment of Glen Birnam is broad somewhat weak, lacking the rich paint surface of Winter Fuel. Dating from 1891 it is one of a series of winter landscapes from the closing years of Millais life.Perhaps a better snow scene is Christmas Eve. Millais started Christmas Eve from a hut out of doors, and finished it on Christmas Eve at Murthly Castle, the seat of Sir Douglas Stewart. Millais had leased Murthly Castle for ten years beginning in 1881, every autumn he and his family would retire there to indulge Millais' passion for fishing and field sports.

This is Church Lodge in Hatfield, South Yorkshire. Despite its name, and proximity to the village church, there's no evidence that this was at anytime occupied by the church or local vicar, instead this Grade II listed building was built circa 1711 and served as a workhouse until 1839 when it was turned into 2 residentail houses. Now a boutique occupies the 'rounded' part of the building - number 13.
