My online journal where I share my interests in photography, nature, coffee life, journaling, fountain pens, bicycling, spirituality and asking deep questions.
Had a dusting of snow late yesterday then fog and a heavy frost early this morning. Things were white and sparkling in the sun when all covered with frost and snow. The air was sparkling with ice crystals. These frost crystals about a have inch long.The beauty of a Winter Wonderland.
Retired. Having fun with photography. Journal daily. Meditate daily. Learning haiku/poetry. Have a love for fountain pens.

I bet it does look like a winter wonderland.
We had a dusting of snow here as well but only a low of about 30ºF overnight. If you listened to local news/weather you’d think it was a blizzard. This type of winter panic is laughable and serves as a joke for most people here but still, you’ll find individuals rushing to the stores for essentials…bread, milk, and toilet paper. Haha!
Have a great weekend, Monte.

I saw where you were expecting snow. Some people would add chocolate and peanut butter to the toilet paper essentials. We’re talking about me now.

That is very attractive, and may I say, quite invigorating as I sit here in the early morning summer heat and humidity so high that I may as well be typing this while sitting under a shower

We need that happy medium. My hands were so cold when I arrived at the coffee shop.

A happy medium would be nice indeed. I hear Madeira experiences Spring all year round. Maybe we should move there. I believe the island also uses 100% green energy, which is nice. We will just need to brush up on our Portuguese

A book and tapes is how we’ll do it. Then go there and immerse ourselves in the culture. Maybe we’ll blossom into something beautiful.

I hope you two will accept visitors come August/September when we’re baking here in the SW. I’ll call ahead.
Monte Stevens
Sure. Bring your camera!

I believe this is called “hoar frost” – an occurrence I wish I have seen around here more often. I also like how it is lit up in this photograph!

It’s one of those beautiful scenes nature offers us. And, we just had a young man walk in without a coat, just a white t-shirt.
