Snow days at home

Today was amazing! The sun finally popped out and we really enjoyed watching the birds feed on the front porch. During snow days we typically put out an extra amount of food. Looking forward to getting the roads cleared so we can get off the mountain, but we will enjoy while we are here.
Be safe

Backyard Safari

 Well, Christmas has come and gone and the toys are getting well used over the break.  Uncle Fish and Aunt Chicken gave some ultra cool gifts to the offspring.  #3 has been wearing out the safari set and has travelled thousands of boyland miles with it.  I had to capture a few moments for posterity.  :)

Jimson in Winter

(Datura stramonium)
I have been off schedule with my "somewhat daily" photos with the celebrations of the season.  It's time to get back on track!  My kids were building a fort in the woods and wanted to show me their progress.  So, I grabbed my camera and followed them out!  Photographic opportunities abound at dusk in the woods.  

Grandescunt Aucta Labore

Procrastination always forces me to create my daily image at dusk. It doesn't matter, the light is beautiful at dusk. When the season changes, things that were once in splendor droop away to translucent has beens preparing for a different phase of life. Winter is coming on, and the woods are getting ready. They have dropped most of their leaves exposing every flaw, but blanketing the ground for a new sub-culture of activity. Nature takes advantage of every moment.
