Warming Barrett Station

I got a tip there might be lovely irrigation ice formations out here, but it was too warm. I love the way the rising sun warms up the silos though!

The Joy of Spring Break

Welcome to Spring

Monday, March 22, 2010

Okay, so Spring was officially here on the 20th, but this is the first really Springy photo! ^_^

Ugly Morning

I have obviously been ignoring my blogging duties, but I was inspired by two glorious mornings where the orchards had been doused with water to keep the buds from going below 32 degrees and they had been covered in brilliant glistening icicles, to search desperately for my camera! No luck...but yesterday afternoon I finally found it. So, this morning, instead of a neighboring ice castle...I found this:

Very anti-climactic! Maybe tomorrow will be better...

------------Update----------------

Turned into a nice day after all!

Fast Fog II

I first woke to a beautiful clear dawn, but then noticed a line of fog building in the distance! Although it wasn't as dramatically fast as the morning of Fast Fog I, by the time I got downstairs it had smothered us all.

Puddle Jumpin'

No, it's not sunrise, but it is when the sun decided to make a brief appearance! ^_^

Foggy Fun

Close Up

I'm guessing this is a hawk, but I am no expert! So if you know, please let me know in a comment! I'm pretty happy with how well it turned out at 16x zoom on my Canon Powershot!

See it?

January 28, 2010 - I did not take any photos. So, here is part one for the 29th. ^_^

Nostalgic

The frosty light of dawn landing on these tiny tennis reminded me that my teenager once wore them. They have served each of my three boys well, but as soon as my youngest outgrows them it seems an era will have passed.

Wind and Clouds

Actually, the wind chased those puffy clouds away pretty quickly. It turned into a WINDY, but beautiful day. It's to the point where my husband suddenly said last night, "Listen! The wind stopped!" But by morning it was back.

Blinding Brilliance!

My son got this shot as I drove him to school. It still feels more like Spring than January, and the bulbs are starting to sprout. They usually don't make an appearance until mid February. The worry is that if the fruit trees warm too much, they will start to bud early. I love the sunshine, but wouldn't mind a bit more winter.

January?

Feels more like Spring than the middle of Winter!

Wood Cuts

I love these artistic little patterns in the wood!
