Fire Walking

Today: Winter
Sat Oct 29 2011

The weather forecasters called for rain beginning overnight, turning to snow mid-afternoon. At 7:30 this morning it was raining. At 9:00 this morning it was snowing. *sigh* I suppose it was mid-afternoon in Europe, anyhow.


The view off my deck at 9:30am and 2:00pm. Notice how far down the branches of the oak have been bent by the weight of the snow.


Out my front window, am and pm. The forecasters said that the snow wouldn't stick to roadway surfaces. They lied.


It's a good thing I got new tires for the little Prius yesterday. I'd like to claim it was foresight, but if pressed I'd have to admit that it was just lucky timing.


For some of us, it was a day like any other.

    Lovely photo essay. The fungus and rosehips were my favourites.

    After the week from hell in the workplace, I needed that virtual walk in the woods. Thank you.

    I love the deciduous forest most of all.

    Out here it's mostly the evergreens up where I grew up.

    It's a totally different experience to be in the woods here.

    I could take pictures of only fall leaves for the rest of my days and never get tired of them. Close and far, they are a thing of wonder.

    I even envy you your snow.

    Be afraid. Be very afraid.
