Day 36 – Just a few flakes today, but I am ready to light a fire in the fireplace, pour a Bailey’s and snuggle under a warm blanket. Winter has its pleasures.

Day 23 – Just as I was getting ready to leave this hawk flew overhead and perched at the top of an enormous pine tree.  The lighting was tough since I was quite far away so I decided to play around in Photoshop a bit and add a watercolor effect to the photo.

Day 7 – The tree in our front yard usually waits until the end of Autumn to turn colors. It becomes a brilliant yellow beacon overnight and then just as quickly looses its leaves all at once. But this year, it is giving us a beautiful slow transition with lots of red and yellow.
