I can’t believe it’s still Winter. Well, more to the point, I don’t want to believe it’s still Winter. I’ve had enough of gray skies, muddy roads, cold and damp. I want to see green grass, blue skies and life everywhere I look. I miss the butterflies and honeybees that fill my yard. Warm weather brings songbirds to my mountain. I know each one of them by their voices. Some of them have returned every year to live in the brambles in the edge of my yard.
The Ironweed in the photo is a late summer flower. It emerges during the warmest part of the year.
Today I’m hiding from ice and snow but in my heart it’s still Summer.

Oh! π Love this one! Super-shot!

It’s snowing here, and my truck was stuck on the icy road earlier. Hope the groundhog doesn’t see his shadow

It’s snowing here too but I’m sure it’s not what you have. As far as that groundhog goes… I’m planning a Caddyshack style way of keeping him from making back into his hole. Can we end winter on a technicality? π

I’ve always love to see snow fall, but u won’t blame me for that, it’s due to my location, am always feeling the heat. Even when its chilled there’s still sun!! Well composed Sir.
