Here Comes the Sun

The bare branches were coated in sparkling frost this morning, but thanks to bright sunshine and a clear blue sky, all that had melted by the afternoon when the temperature nearly hit 50 degrees! Hope does indeed 'spring' eternal.

Of course, we still have a half-foot of snow covering the ground, but 'this too shall pass.'

Winter Afternoon

The sun is positioned low in the southwest sky as it begins its decent over Balmer Park during a wintery January afternoon.

SkyWatch Friday: Sundown at Simmons Woods

Simmons Woods sunset with a silhouette of the old "look-out" tree.  Has a spooky, Halloween feel, doesn't it?

The Sky is Alive

In early April we spent 5 days in Savannah, Georgia. The historic district boasts amazing classic architecture and dozens of beautiful park squares. One of the most dramatic sites in the area are the huge "live oak" trees, hanging with wispy Spanish moss. This tree sprawled nearly across the whole park.

An aside: We are still waiting for our trees to bud out here....[Impatiently folding arms & tapping foot!]
