Softly lit.

On a marvellous late winter morning, this tin barn was softly lit by pre-sunrise light, with the moon setting above it. I was blessed to come across this scene.

Briefly

Leaned in close.

I leaned in close to get an image of frost-laden grass leaves.

Crossed paths

Wet snow fell for much of yesterday. This morning, I saw that a mouse and a fox had crossed paths during the night, seemingly not at the same time.

Red sky at morning . . .

. . . sailor take warning.

The old saying certainly held true for non-sailors in southwest Ontario this week. After this lovely and marvellous Monday morning sunrise, the rest of the week was cloudy, rainy, chilly, with snow and ice melting and rivers rising.

Welcome to my first post of the new year. Let me know what you think!

Beautiful yet weighty.

A recent freezing rain event left beautiful yet weighty evidence of its visit.

Lovely morning.

It was a lovely morning, the first clear morning in perhaps a week.

Adds a dash.

A splash of pale pink adds a dash of colour to an otherwise grey and white early morning landscape.

Promise fulfilled.

Before today, only four days this month had been mostly sunny. This mornings’ lovely dawn promised that today would be Day 5.

The promise was fulfilled. I was, am, very grateful.

Blazes

Another day blazes into existence.
