The light was lovely yesterday between the docks in the shallows of the river where melting had begun.

From the other day when it was above freezing. My birdbath gives me interesting abstract views in the winter.

I don’t know how these swirly patterns of snow were formed, but they reminded me of simplified roses.

Somehow this tree, devoid of its bark, bare and raw seemed fitting to end the second year of the pandemic. But there is also the beauty of the abundant lichen and evergreen as well.

Happy New Year to all.

Between the solstice and Christmas, wishing you all a safe and healthy holiday period.

An update on the mysterious green substance from earlier this month. My friend found it again and it appears to be a piece of playground surface. Yesbuts wins for the closest solution to the mystery.

Lovely mounds of moss stay green before the snow.

I found this strange green stuff that looks a bit like a tropical succulent, but it’s not tropical here at all. To add to the mystery, it disappeared by the next day. What is/was it????

First I found a dandelion trying to bloom and then this wildflower or flowering grass blooming. It seems too cold, but perhaps the fallen leaves provide enough warmth to encourage blooming.

I walk by this yard every morning, but it’s not until this time of year that I stop to take notice.
