Signs of spring

Although Spring is officially 6 weeks away, mother nature is providing us with subtle hints that it is on the way. Today was still cold, but when bundled up in layers is bearable. The bright sun was gleaming off the sap on these green tinged buds. Each day they are getting longer and greener.

 

 

The pussy willows are starting to expose themselves a little more now.

Happy Valetines Day!

A perfect day for a fireplace and a glass of vino.

 

Oops, looks like someone drank mine...

Sky life

Another brutally cold day. I had visions of this hanging in an Art Gallery as a painting, after some worldly government had spent a few million to commission an artist.

 

Interesting how this planes lights create this sky streaking. I look forward to learning more about this as I play around with my camera.

Woody woodpecker

This area of the woods is an absolute banquet for the woodpeckers. Hopefully I will be able to catch a few snacking this year.

 

 

I was curious upon seeing this single tracks. After researching it, I discovered that the weasel, fox and coyote all walk in a straight line. Strange for a four legged animal. By the size of the paw prints, I would guess that these particular tracks were made by a coyote.

M is for the Magic in My Life

 

 Life is truly based on ones perspective. This W from the word slow appears as an M.

It is all about perspective.

M for Me is for all the Magic life has to offer.

 

 This pine cone is hiding amongst the long needles of the scotch pine.

Holy leaf

Something majestic about this solitary tree.

 

 Curious to what sort of insect dines on this. The holes glimmered like tiny diamonds.

-31 Bitterly cold day! Brrrrrrrrrrrr

Today I didn't get too far from the car as it was brutal outside. Shall we say, my walk was short. The setting sun was shining a spot light on these trees. Quite pretty against the frigidity of the surrounding air.

 

Did a little post editing to see the different effects it would have. Actually, I think I like it better.

 

The colors on the ice and surrounding area provided by the setting sun, I think is rather attractive.
