November Icicle....

The same icicle as last week but a horizontal format.

Frigid Flow...

It's been very cold this past week. Frigid temperatures and flowing water create some beautiful ice formations so I went to my favorite spot this morning and took this photo. When I left the house it was 7 degrees.

Finally, Some Melting....

We finally had temperatures in the 50's yesterday and the snow took a beat down. There is still plenty on the ground and we're supposed to get a snow storm this weekend but at least we can see the light at the end of the tunnel. On the south side of the house, against the foundation, I noticed my chives popping out of the ground yesterday.

Same Subject, Different Look...

These photos were taken by Sabattus River the morning after the ice storm we had the other day. I took the first photo then I got lower with the camera and pointed it up so I got just the sky as a background. I think I prefer the first photo because the sparkles created by the rising sun show up better against the darker background .

Sunday Snowshoeing...

I finally got to use the snowshoes on Sunday, there were a couple times earlier this winter when I should have used them but didn't; especially when I struggled through some deep snow with my camera gear.

The first photo was taken before hitting the trail, the snow storm we had the night before was heavy and wet so it stuck to the tree branches and the warm air created a fog to hang over the river. The second photo was taken on the trail. There were a few times that I got pelted in the head from the snow melting off of the tree branches above.

My new profile pic was taken on the trail on Sunday.
