The great melting is happening outside. This image reminds me that solitude can be beautiful.
My annual Christmas Eve party, with family and friends, (held on zoom) was very nice.
Wishing everyone a peaceful, safe, holiday time.

I rounded a corner on a blue sky day and the remaining leaves looked like stars twinkling.

While admiring a colorful tree yesterday, a beautiful blue sky autumn day, I found a paper wasp nest. A marvel of insect engineering, but I wouldn’t want to get too close. I googled paper wasp symbolism and there were a lot possibilities, so I don’t have a clue – do you?

As the snow ended

My view while cleaning the snow off my car as the snow moved east. It doesn’t look like much here, but 3.5 inches is the most ever recorded for October. Ahh, freak snowstorm, COVID numbers rising, the election a few days away. Such a tranquil time.

This was taken on another day, but today it is snowing and the world is almost black and white.
