Hope you get dug out ready for tomorrowSnow can be so pretty but clearing it sucks!
Thanks. Yes, I did get dug out this afternoon. I did not go anywhere once the driveway was cleared, but I knew I could if I wanted to. I get cabin fever very quickly.
Yah me too I have to get out or I go crazy
I am glad to know I am not alone in that.

If it's Friday, it's Photography class. 20 degree weather, and not dressed for going outside, 4 of my intrepid students wanted to go outside and take photos. It was a beautiful afternoon, sunshine, blue sky, and no wind. This was my contribution:
Reflections in Triplicate
The car reflected in the middle set of windows is my car.

I like it. I also think is is great that these students get a chance to learn photography. What age group are they?
They are 15 - 16. I had to chuckle to myself about one student. She was saying how she likes nature and rural scenes. Our campus in right in a residential neighborhood and an old military depot. She didn't think that icicles and snow on trees was nature.

You must have some of that man-made snow and ice then. My wife teaches 9th graders. The stories she tells me about what they say can be so funny.

I like it. Is this a working wheel?
Don,
Yes, it is. It is a reproduction Canadian production wheel, which means it spins really fast because of the large wheel that does not require lots of treddling to move fast. It wa made by The Merlin Tree in Vermont. I love it. I can spin yarn at least 2 - 3 times faster than I could with my old Ashford wheel. I just have to watch the dog's tail when spinning.
I undo the drive band when I am not using it so it does not stretch the band at all. Even, so-called "non-stretch" twine will eventually stretch a little. I use mason's twine for the drive band. Cheap and doesn't stretch a lot.

Alan,
Thanks. I think we are going to miss most of it. They are only predicting 1-3 inches total. Most of it will be East of the Catskills. Works for me. I am not in the mood to deal with too much more snow this winter.

I had to run out this evening and had fun with street lights. I was sitting at a red light when I took this one. My Nikkor 35mm f/1.4 IA lens (pre-autofocus) is perfect for this. I do love that lens but don't use it as much as I should.
Waiting for a Green Light
After posting this, I realized I should have titled it, "Red Light District."

I like it. And we had better not catch you in the red light district.
