It has been a lovely day. Sunny, temperature about 3 Celsius, light southwest wind. We spent time outside doing a little cleaning up. The dogs also came out for varying lengths of time. Piles of snow notwithstanding, Achilles dozed. I sneaked a photo.
Winter is coming to an end. Days are becoming longer, temperatures are warming. The bitter, awe-ful cold is gone. Today it’s just above freezing, sunny, we may sit outside for a while and gratefully soak in some sunshine.
We may – no, we will – have more cold, more snow. Yet we made it through another winter. I’m grateful and happy to live in a four season climate. I will be grateful for the coming warmth.

Freezing rain on this window at work created a very artistic view.
I do my best to appreciate what is in my life now, today, this season, no matter what time of year or what is happening. That’s what much of my photography is about – stopping and looking, trying to see, giving thanks for what I see, and sharing a small portion of the beauty that I live in.
Sometimes though it’s good, uplifting, reinforcing, to look at something from a different time, to put current life in a different perspective. To look forward, to anticipate. I look forward to seeing this splash of colour again in a few months.
Thank you very much for visiting my blog. I deeply appreciate the time each and every you take out of your day to visit, deeply appreciate your taking a moment to click ‘like’.
Thank you.
It does not, cannot, whine and whinge and moan about never-ending winter, where is spring? It waits. Spring will come. It will arrive when it arrives. Accept what is.
A lesson to embrace.
It flew away an instant before I tripped the shutter for this image. The female House Finch remained.
I participate in Project FeederWatch. It’s a citizen science project which involves counting the birds at my bird feeders. During our recent extreme cold weather visitation dramatically increased. I photographed this Northern Cardinal through the living room window and screen so it’s a little fuzzy.
A thin layer of fog which lay just above this farmhouse, then apparently descended to ground level beyond it made for quite an image.
