Welcome to Spring

Monday, March 22, 2010

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

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.

January?

Feels more like Spring than the middle of Winter!

Lovely!

That's the way to start the day! It's foggy again now. I'm glad I looked out at just the right moment! ^_^

Melting Away!

Bye-bye snow!

Sorry to see you go...

Trying again in two thousand ten!

Happy New Year!

Good-bye 2009!

2009 has been a rather prickly year. I am not sorry to say good-bye. I hope this next decade brings happiness and joy to us all!

Day 130: Happy Mother's Day!

I caught the last launch of the Walla Walla Balloon Stampede out a second story window. We used to go all the time, but it's been a while. Maybe I'll remember next year and get some close-ups!

Day 88: Low Snow

The sun finally rose above the clouds around 11:30! By noon it was already hidden behind it's cold gray blanket once again.

Day 82: Favorite View

Day 79: First Day of Spring!

Day 76: Red Delicious

Day 71: Morning Moonlight Munch

Do you see the miniature ponies? I wish I'd gotten a better shot of them.

Day 70: Waldorf Salad

In the fall I could make waldorf salad from the walnuts off the tree and apples from the orchard. (If you want the recipe let me know.)

; )

Day 65: Late Snow

Day 62: Abandoned Real Estate

Day 61: Fast Fog

Feeling sick, I woke up with the sun already streaming in through the chinks in the blinds filling the curtains with patterns of light. My photo! I raced down the stairs and pulled aside the drapes. An enormous puffy cloud glowed white and gray right outside. Was that fog at the edge of our property? Where was my camera? I finally found the boys' and as I raced to add batteries the light in the house dimmed. It was like someone turned out the lights. I peeked out again and it was dark gray fog. I could still see yellow sunshine coming in the sunporch door. I raced out there as I turned on the camera.
"Set time and date."

"NO"

The sun was a glowing yellow disk in the disappearing sky.

"Cancel!"

I snapped the above picture as the monster fog cloud gobbled us up. It was amazingly fast, and beautifully dramatic. I wish I could have captured it better!

Day 58: Bright & Clear

I love watching the Northward progression. Check out the same view on January 30th and January 9th. It's coming up about an hour earlier now. Just in time to Spring forward and make it an hour later again. : (

Day 54: Little Light of Mine

Guess it's time to take these down, huh? ^_^

Day 52: Forgotten
