Transitions. In September, the meadow along the Sudbury River was green. Last week it was ice.
As kids, John and Suzanne used to skate on the meadow as soon as the river’s overflow ice was strong enough. Perhaps the wooden posts have something to do with a new generation planning to play there. Nowadays, John puts up a backyard rink in winter — just the thing for his family of skaters.
The next photo was taken by my sister in New York City. She says it’s unusual for Riverside Park to have icy puddles like that — one more example of the weather we’ve been experiencing in the Northeast. In my town, Thursday’s deluge came on top of melting snow and ice, and kept my husband bailing out the basement all day.
Next, you see our neighborhood before dawn and after dark, at sunrise and at sunset, in light and in shadow.
I had to include some lovely fungus, of course, and a message in stone that persons unknown left at a pocket park downtown.
The sunsets are beautiful, especially the one that looks like ripples or furrows in a plowed field. The painted stones are fun. And backyard rink–very fun!
The rippled sky also reminds me of what wind does to snow — and sand. This gives me a chance to practice another blogger’s excellent word from Cornwall, sastruga. https://lovethosehandsathome.wordpress.com/2019/01/26/building-your-word-power-sastruga/
Lovely winter pictures.
More snow this morning. Glad I’m not going anywhere.
I want a rink on my backyard!! Somehow, I’ve never gotten my husband on board with that idea . . . Your photos sure look like winter! And it’s been a doozy so far, hasn’t it?
From my point of view, it’s been a confusing winter so far. I’m still waiting for enough snow to try a silly kind of snowman I have in mind. Stay tuned.
Wonderful photos! I love the fungus, it looks like little flowers were placed on the top. I do hope y’all are keeping warm with the cold you’re getting!!
Well, it’s minus 3 this morning, but my brother in Wisconsin reports minus 18.
