May be why the willow weeps
Ice-crusted branches on the willow tree on day two of my winter series.
I liked the reminder that the branches were once pliable enough to be knotted like this, but the knot itself seemed cruel.

Spring arrives, a drop at a time
First of all: I realize that what I consider a “lot of snow” is a laughably small amount for people who live where it actually DOES snow.
Second: I don’t like to be cold.
So, this four-part series that kicks off today is out of the ordinary. It means that it snowed enough here to be noticeable. And that, when it did, I went outside and made some photos.
I am starting with the one that offers the most hope of spring. I may not be the only one who needs the reminder that the seasons will unfold as they are supposed to.

If so, I have found the place for you!

Mondrian’s window
Over the past couple of years, my friend Ehpem and I have amused ourselves by spotting references to Mondrian (like this) or things we see that remind us of him. Our standards are lax: pretty much anything with more than a couple of rectangles fits into our little game.
And, so, I present: Mondrian’s Window.
