Blue clouds with orange linings as the sun sets in the low distance of leafless trees

How can people not know what beauty this is?
I’ve taken it for granted my whole life
Since the day I was born

I’m up here swirling, ass-over-tea-kettle, through a season where words fail to express what I feel or think.

A quick lunchtime hike through beautiful new snow makes the cold worth it.

I finally have a wide angle lens.🙌🏻 Looking forward to being able to have more choices when capturing views.

Can’t help but share sunrises when they are this good looking.

The firebird must have been released from its cage this morning as cotton candy colors intensely saturated the clouds. Its passing was short but I was glad to witnesss and enjoy it.

While listening to a podcast discussing Star Wars: Attack of The Clones, arguably the worst of all the films, one host points out a hidden gem amongst the mess. One of the main characters, Obi-wan, visits the Jedi archives (a sci-fi private library) …

Continuing the tradition of making snow friends to check in on us from the window.

The kid’s school has been cancelled for a second day due to single-digit temperatures. Walking out to get our mail quickly had me agreeing with their decision.

We really miss being able to directly feed our local birds so it’s exciting to see that our trees are up to the task. A group of house finches came by the window while I was admiring the snow.

As much as I love the snow, I’m glad I only have a cat. 😸

Started the day with an appreciative walk in the newly falling snow.

I’ve had my fill of traveling and I’m looking forward to staying in one place for a good while.
