Blush

Blush

Taken with the PlayBook.

I have had trouble connecting the PlayBook to the laptop thereby backing up the 700+ photos on it. Today I finally came across a back door way to link and backup, thank goodness. I would not want to lose shots like this blush of dawn.

Won’t see anything like this tomorrow morning, about 10 cm of snow is predicted for tonight. It’s howly-growly out there as Faye likes to say, there is a stiff and gusty wind blowing now. Rain for Thursday.

Early Light

Our neighbours’ tree reaches out to embrace the cold, crystalline light of a recent dawn. One more bitter cold night endured, one more sunny, chilly day to bask in.

Each day brings spring one day closer.

Brutal, beautiful cold

Brutal, beautiful cold

Dawn in the heart of winter is a brutal, beautiful time. The temperature by the car thermometer was -24C. This may be nothing by some standards yet by banana belt Ontario standards, it is awful. Life is simply trying to endure and to get through.

Several sights about this dawn caught my eye. The way the ditch angles through the frame made an interesting almost asymmetrical contribution. The sun blushes the edge of the lower level clouds. there in the middle left of the frame, cirrus clouds are light, feathery, almost invisible. This photo and the others I took were well worth the cold stinging my bare fingers.

This morning is quite chilly, about -11. Fog settled in shortly before I left home. It was patchy and very dense in a few areas. At one point the sun peeked out so I stopped to capture the scene.
