it missed us.....

not having seen the weather forecast for around here

I think we were the lucky ones who missed the storm

It went further North and West of us

I have seen the photos and read the stories

and I may even feel a little guilty

but

that's how the storms roll through

the sun is making an appearance

so i took a stroll outside

and despite a cold breeze

and a very wet and soggy ground

I shot a few shots

there's Honker preening in the sun

on the end of the dock

and you can see the thin layer of ice on the water

and a thicker layer on the other side

with a queue waiting for the bus outta here!!!!

these little buggers are the reason I went out

I sneaked as sneakily as I could sneak

and just as I got close enough

they took off and landed over there

it is now my mission to get a close up

how I don't know

but I will try the good try!!

sun shadows on slushy snow shining serenely

the pieris japonica is dripping with flowers

the diamonds are once again dancing on the lake

and the ice coat this was wearing the other day seems not to have hurt it at all

the end
