Snow Shadows and A Napping Dog

I still haven't taken my camera outside to do any serious snow photography. These were taken from inside the house. Webster sneaked back to bed this morning after his walk for a nap in my unmade bed. I had to leave the house before he was ready to get up so it's still a rumpled mess.

I had to wait in line forever to get my drivers license renewed today at Motor Vehicles. They said it was the busiest day of the year. I wasn't aware that they had closed the satellite office in Morristown until I went there yesterday and found all the windows covered with brown paper. At that point it was too late to drive to the main branch 30 minutes away. Oh well, I got in some good people watching today. The fashion police would have had a field day.

Ross Castle Reflected in Pond Killarney, Ireland

So beautiful. So serene. So Green. Why does a sky reflected in a pond look more beautiful than the actual sky? ~

Love the Symmetry in this English Manor House

I have no information regarding this fabulous Manor House. I'm assuming it's in England but it could be elsewhere. Don't you love the symmetry of the main building? Architecture at its best. *

Big Icicles and Big Ants

The meltdown has begun. These icicles were photographed outside my bathroom window this morning.

A Wonderful Pair of Owls

You'll never convince me that these two owls aren't posing for the camera. Such a handsome couple too. via

The Cottage at Night with Snow

I haven't been back this far in the current snow but will venture down there when I finish shoveling the back patio and deck and a path to the garage for recycling. Nothing has changed since this picture was taken last year only Webster and I both are a year older. The sun is bright and it's a lot warmer today. Stay warm.

The Ice Cardinal Asks You to Feed The Birds

It's cold outside so don't forget to feed the birds. I have to pick up another huge bag of sunflower seeds when I venture out today. Stay warm.

Keep Calm and Shovel Snow

The front is done, my car is cleaned off, the front part of the driveway has been plowed and shoveled as well. Saving the back for tomorrow. I kept up with the snow yesterday and maybe that made it easier today. I finally picked the perfect spot to park my car so the plow man can do both ends of my semicircular drive and then all I have to do is shovel a little around my car and clean it off. It worked perfectly.

The wind is still howling and I'm quite sure the snow will drift over my walkway again. Oh well, what can you do. It could have been worse. At least it was that light powdery stuff and not the wet heavy stuff.

Goodnight. See you tomorrow.

Such a great letterpress card. I like the proverb too.
