Nothing too fancy today; just a quick flat lay.
I was hoping to get some shots of the chickadees that visited earlier today but they didn't have the patience to wait for me to change my lens so I had to go with the backup plan.
Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe.

Pretty sure that these are laburnum seeds, they apparently are poisonous and stay hanging until winter.
Fighting a headache after a long day of emails and meetings so it's a simple flat lay / still life for today.
Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe.

Fyero enjoying some direct heat while hanging out by her window. As cold as it has been lately, it's hard to blame her for getting up close and personal with the radiator.
Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe.

Fyero doing what she does best, relaxing in the afternoon sunshine - she's always trying to teach me how to live my best life, it's just too bad that work gets in the way so often.
Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe.

While this picture was taken at the end of March, it looks much more like January in the mountains near Provo, Utah. On the left is Squaw Peak and on the right is the edge of Y mountain, still decorated with snow.

Our Sedum look nice in winter too :) There is a short period in March when this old dried growth is cut & discarded and before the new growth develops when the space looks a bit bare.

We might get about 10 inches of snow before the weather changes. A good time to get out the sleds!

Thank you for your nice comments I appreciate them all very much !
Have a great weekend ...Hugs :)
Time for a very brief frosty interlude (briefer than the frost, which continued for a good week). On two days virtually all the plants in my garden stayed frozen throughout the day, but most seem to be recovering. I have at least two bushes of this plant, whose name I don't know – it has grey leaves and small yellow flowers in the summer.
A panic picture on last day of the month. This is a new set up in my living room which isn’t quite the aesthetic I was going for! Husband training for a triathlon equals gear everywhere! Happy to complete the month!
I took a long drive west in January with sights set on North Dakota. While on the way several "brief" stops were made to catch action along the way, but it wasn't until we were along the TC&W that the sun decided to participate.
Two Twin Cities & Western geeps pass the elevator at Renville, MN on a late Saturday morning rolling west on the old Milwaukee mainline. I knew it was possible that the TC&W could run on a weekend day and took my chances running to Glencoe, MN in the early hours to see if anything was happening. Sure enough a bit of luck was shining upon arrival as a crew was putting together this power to go west. It was still dreary and foggy at the the time, as it had been since starting out of New York on the Wednesday before, but by time they reached the Sugar Beet plant, the sun started to shine. Amazingly I had a nice blue doom from this day on until I arrived back home the following Sunday! Shit doesn't happen like that when you ride with T. Wakeman! So, Mother Nature must have been quite busy elsewhere in the world and I either slipped under her radar or I'm in a 5th Dimension!

The undefeated enemy, the chill
That shall benumb the voiceful earth at last,
Is master of our moment, and has bound
The viewless wind it-self. There is no sound.
It freezes. Every friendly stream is fast.
It freezes; and the graven twigs are still.
Hillaire Belloc (1870-1953) from the poem January
Here the middle was still running, but everything else was frozen. But with lighter recent rainfall than we had this time, the icicles at the sides weren't as thick or long in January as in February. McCormick's Creek State Park, southern Indiana.

Fog rises from the frozen Penobscot River on a cold January morning, with the First Congregational Church, Brewer, Maine visible in the background.

Strobist Sundays (01.31.10) - Game on!
Macro Mondays (02.01.10) - Dirty little secrets
This is for the group strobist sundays theme of game on. I have been trying to get the lighting on fire right for a while, and thanks to my pyro friend Ian who gave me a couple of tips - it finally worked. If you have a chance, check out his stream - really amazing stuff!

The old Glenesk boiler on Gress Beach in the fading light of day. The Glenesk was an East Coast herring drifter which ran aground on the beach in the 1920s.
I said to myself that the first picture I post in 2011 should be taken in 2011, alas 8 days later finally some sun and snow (and on a weekend to boot!). Not alot but fun to walk and shoot in.
Enjoy!!
