The woods from The Hill. There was a strong north wind and moderate snow at this point. The wind created a rapid vortex between my eye and glasses lens that had my eye watering so much I couldn’t tell what the picture was going to be like.
The snow covered trees show some interesting shapes across the mowed field. Some of the small trees in the field only collected snow on the trunks and bases of branches. The result is several trees that appear to be nothing more than totems.
I wonder if this picture conveys the cold I felt at the time. The wind speed was about 20 miles per hour and the snow was moving by horizontally. To make matters worse, I was still a little bit sweaty from cleaning the driveway and my stocking cap was trying to freeze to the back of my neck. I’m sure this scene will be much warmer when the clouds let some sunlight through.
The landscape is so pretty, dusted in that powdered sugar! Sorry the slush has kept you from the salamanders.
ReplyDeleteSo, about those tomatoes: Mine petered out late summer last year, too, more than in other years. I blamed it on the blight going around. I'm intrigued about your July planting. So when do you start that batch of seeds? I presume indoors? Are these determinate or indeterminate plants? I've only grown the latter in the past.
