How Cool Is That!!
I was contacted Friday by a company that makes plant tags ~ they want to use my Daisy Gardenia photo for their tag!! This is an image I took in May of last year….not too long after I picked my camera up again after many moons of being away. I wouldn’t call this my best shot….but apparently it fits their needs. How cool is that!! 🙂

Snow Melt
We had a beautiful, albeit windy day on Thursday. All of the snow you see in these photos I took on Wednesday melted. You may also notice the water standing with the snow. The melting snow has contributed to those puddles. They are beginning to look like creeks. Believe it or not, there has been standing water here for months (although not quite this bad)….possibly since our monster nor’easter on November 12th of last year. We have had incredible amounts of rain this fall and winter, with a splash of snow here and there. The water levels in the reservoirs and lakes are higher than I have seen in a very long time. These images were taken on my…

Let It Rain?
Our forecast for Wednesday was a rain/mix with a chance of snow showers…on my way to work, it was raining lightly, and then it began to snow…. ….and after I got to work, it began to snow harder……. …..and harder……… ….we began to hear rumors that the College was going to be closing ~ excitement was in the air. You can’t tell from the photo above, but to the right is quite a steep hill which leads down to our parking area and the maintenance shops. Almost right after the rumor began, a semi truck came to make a delivery….he began to go down the hill….slid sideways and got stuck ~ blocking the…

The First
As we sit and wonder what the third storm in two weeks will bring, I thought I would show you some photos I took after the first on January 30th. We haven’t experienced the snow our friends to the north of us have, but this storm brought a substantial amount for us. This is the storm that brought us the most snow we have seen in this area in a few years. I got up bright and early the next morning to blue skies and sunshine. These are my snow shovelers…..my oldest and her boyfriend. They did an excellent job clearing the walk and around the Jeep….and hamming it up for the camera. 🙂 My…

Snowy Saturday
The day started out with some sleet which soon turned in to a very wet snowfall. The snow ended earlier this evening and the temperatures have dropped considerably. Prior to the snow, I refilled the bird feeders around my house. I liked this photo of the male and female cardinals at the feeder and the little visitor on the pole. Vintage Soft Grunge Texture #14 by Shadowhouse Creations applied.

As The Day Ends
I posted a photo of this creek here prior to the snowfall this past weekend. We all know I have a thing for sunsets so when I saw this shot, I couldn’t resist. 🙂

Wednesday Evening Sunset
Sometimes you just have to stop and enjoy the view!

No Shadows Here
The groundhogs in this area will be shadow free today…..there is no sunshine only clouds that will bring us more moisture.

Dead On
The weather forecast was dead on today. It began snowing early this morning, around 2 or 3 a.m., and has been going strong ever since. We are at 26ºF at 9:30 this morning with a wind chill of 13ºF. The snow is supposedly falling at about one to two inches per hour…….I don’t know how much we have thus far, but they are predicting heavy snow all day and into the night with a final tally of about 10 to 12 inches for our region. It is fairly windy outside right now and the snow is very fine and powdery. It is snowing pretty heavily as I take these, but you wouldn’t know…

Once Upon A Time In The Snow
This is an image of the girls playing in the snow on January 3rd, 2002….during a snow storm much like the one that is suppose to arrive tonight. This was taken with an old digital point and shoot camera a friend let me use. No frills on this camera ~ I think it may have even been one of the first ones out when it was new! I wonder if they will let me get another photo like this tomorrow during the storm? 🙂
