Amazing blue shadows across the landscape, Monte. I certainly do find your poetry inviting. Thank you.

Yes. This is looking out across the frozen water of Watson Lake. And, it was cold! Hope you staying warm up there!!

Yelp, you know it’s cold when even the shadows turn blue! We had a dusting of snow last night and it was in the upper teens early this morning. What an unusual pattern, more snow to the East and into the deep South. It will just barely reached above freezing as a high today. I hope your chocolate supply is holding out.

The whole country seems to be in kind of a strange place. Snow in Houston, Florida, Alabama, and New Orleans. And, I’ve noticed cold temperatures always seem to come with snow. LOL This morning we were at 23 degrees when I left the house, about 30 degrees warmer than yesterday morning. A heat wave. But it is quite windy, up to 24 mph. Stay warm!

Lovely. Both the poem and the photo.

Lovely in its simplicity. We had a little bit of snow earlier this week. Have a good weekend, Monte.

Good morning, my friend! I am learning in my older age to make things more simple, in life as well as my photography. It is lightly snowing right now. And we are expecting it to continue into the day. Stay warm and enjoy your weekend!

The polar vortex just passed here last week, and I learned the Anishinaabe word for “bone-cracking cold.” Your blue shadows capture that feeling well.

It hurts just saying “bone-cracking cold.” I saw where some ships were having trouble on the Great Lakes due to the cold. Stay warm!!!
