3-15-14: Today was one of those days where the weather changed about every 30 seconds: sunny, then sleeting, then windy. Generally, BLECH! weather. With that in mind, I still found something "spring-like" but it wasn't outdoors. New Growth

3-13-14: It was only 12F today with wind gusts of 30+ mph. It did not matter that it was sunny. I went back to my winter photo mode. Don't worry, no opportunistic feline photos or canine candids. I have a a lot of glass paperweights and thought it would be interesting to photograph one. I...

3-12-14: I guess we really do have 10 more days of winter. Below is what was happening this afternoon as the temperature decided to drop more than 12 degress F in an hour. YUCK!! To make myself feel better, I checked out my hyacinth bulb. It looks like this year it is going to have twin...

3-11-14: Saw these dried out seed pods on a tree branch. I just thought they looked interesting and almost like alien seed pod beings. HaHa! I guess I have watched too much really bad, campy SciFi over the years. Podlings I saw this flock of birds fly from one tree to another. I was not...

3-1-14: After wandering around outside with the photography class, it was this photo, that I took, inside, of one of my co-workers. This photo was taken through the door window (you know, the type with the wire safety glass where the wire is sandwiched between and fused between two panes of...

3-9-14: It was a beautiful, sunny day, and even the birds thought so. This crow was just hanging around on a melting snow bank. Amazingly, I was able to get more detail than usual of this crow's feathers. Usually, all I get is a very black bird with no feather definition. This time I got...

3-8-14: I got so involved in early spring cleaning (that's what temps in the 40s do :) ) that I almost forgot to get my photo for the day. Sorry, it's the opportunistic feline photo of my longhaired snotty cat. Yes, she does have some scratches on her nose because one of the other cats has...

3-7-14: WooHoo! Heat wave! Spring must be getting closer. Temperatures were in the 40s F, and the sun was out this afternoon. I stopped to check the creek on the way home to see how the ice floes were doing. The ice has not started to break up, but if the temperatures continue for another...

3-6-14: Spooky is my usual companion when I am trying to do something on my laptop. He's my computer chum. He will sit on my arm, making it very difficult to type. :) My Chum

3-5-14: I pass by this wooden cutout woodpecker at least twice a week. I finally decided to stop and get a photo of it. Now That's a Woodpecker!

3-4-14: Although it was 06F this morning, it turned into a veritable heat wave this afternoon, when temperatures hit the mid-20s! WooHoo! Anyway, I looked out the kitchen window a little while ago and saw a small herd of deer munching away on something under the trees. I used my D7000...

3-3-14: When it is 3 deg F outside, there is always the color sketch option for something that would otherwise be a boring photo. I am really looking forward to spring, allergies and all. :)

3-2-14: Back to cold, dark, dreary, damp day. :( Definitely not conducive to going outside. This is what I am reading on such an icky day. And Don, no I did not eat the book. :) Critters are safe, too. Before anyone thinks this is a political statement about what is happening in...

3-1-14: Well, the cats and dog are safe today. They are still quite alive. :) WooHoo! We had a heat wave! the temperature reached the upper 20s. While out this morning running errands, I passed by one of the many miniature golf courses (if you can call them that) we have around here. This...

2-28-14: So totally tired of the "polar vortex." My pets see the camera and think to themselves, "Oh, no! There she goes again." I think they, too, are wishing for warmer weather so I stop taking their photos. Cute canine and opportunistic feline photos ahead. Thought I'd warn you. :)...

2-27-14: Like most people around here, I am so tired of sub-zero F temps and the Polar vortex. I am trying to think of more warm weather things, so here is a photo of some strawberries I ate after I took their photo. :)

2-26-14: My photography class is a bunch of wooses and weenies: it was "too cold" to go outside. This came from one of the kids who is notorious for running out of the school without a jacket or hoodie. We ended up taking photos around the school. I took this of our Industrial Arts teacher...

2-25-14: The return of cold weather made me resort to finding something inside to photograph. I found these scissors. Jenny started to check them out and realized that it was only scissors, not food. She lost interest before I could even focus on her nose. :) Just Scissors

2-24-14: Back to winter weather. :( Back to cold weather indoor photos... Finally, I was able to get a photo of the freshly sprouting hyacinth bulb. I think it will have more than one bloom this year. :) Sprouted

2-23-14: I spotted this small herd of deer way up in the field while I was driving home after getting gas for the car. Enjoying the Thaw
