Taken along the main trail in the La Crosse Blufflands after an overnight snow. It seems like skies like this are only seen in winter.
I was a little short on time so I threw together a quick still life and called it a day. Glad I didn't overthink it because I like the way this one turned out.
Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe.

Taking into account the mixed weather and that February is the shortest month of the year, I have surprisingly taken quite a few pictures. Some days it has just been a case of finding a little sunshine; the heavy horses and street singer were both seen in Truro during the same lunch hour. Other pictures were more to do with determination - this week's 'in disguise' 100x Mini picture was taken in the pouring rain and with a horrible cold. Featured in this month's collage are pictures from Truro, St Ives, Porthleven, Hayle and Lizard Point.
I absolutely love the pure simplicity of this deep, dark winter scene from many years ago up in Canada.
This scan of an original, red-bordered Kodachrome slide only showed “Feb 1958” and nothing else on the cardboard mount.
Looking at the truck, I can tell that it is a 1955-56 “S” series International with a 1957 Quebec license plate, and I am glad the view here is of the rear of the truck so that all of that business information is clearly visible, and I am certain that both doors would have been covered with some equally impressive lettering.
Noticeable is the word “HARDWARE” above the rear window, and “GUIGNION BROS LTD” and “MOTOR TRUCKS” – FARM EQUIPMENT” – SALES & SERVICE” on the tailgate.
Of course, these days this would be done with vinyl letters, graphics, and custom wraps, but back in the 1950s it would have been meticulously hand applied with a brush by a skilled sign painter.
The exact location of this photo is not known, but I was able to find some information on the family name Guignion, which seemed to have been prominent in the area of Gaspe, Quebec in far eastern Canada just above the province of New Brunswick. – February 1958.

What's special about these pictures is that the sea is not frozen. In February, that's what it should be at 60 degrees latitude.
Another image from my latest camera trap set up.

Yarrow reservoir, a small feeder lake to the bigger Rivington and Anglezarke reservoirs. Both these huge bodies of water can take 2 and 1/2 hours to walk round - at a brisk pace!.
While playing with off camera flash the other night with my tulips, I decided I might as well do some smoke too...here were three of my favourites all processed the same.
Amazing sunset over Long Run meadow near Taunton. The 1st day of February and hopefully the first of many February sunsets.
In February 2014 was more sunsets than in Spring time...we have now
sunny weather +15 C, but nights are frozen, under 0...is it not crazy ?
Thanks to all Flickr friends for a visits - have a fantastic sunny week !
This photo was taken on a day in February when the temperature was 80+ degrees. Now at the end of April we are expected to have snowfall by morning....it's KANSAS!
