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.
