Jezebel In The Snow

Charlie Brown

Been using my "pocketable" FujiFilm camera on our walks lately so I can concentrate on keeping upright on the icy paths, and in case I do fall, it will be protected in my pocket. The one time I did fall, however, it fell out of my pocket and I didn't notice it missing until a few minutes later. Oops. lol

At Massasoit State Park

We haven't done a lot of walking since the snow got too hard to navigate. It wouldn't be so bad now if it wasn't frozen. We went once or twice last week, but the last few days has been great snow-melting weather so hopefully things will be much better there now. We'll be going this week for sure. We were talking about tomorrow but it might be too rainy (which will help get rid of the snow). Can't wait...need the exercise badly.

And the sign said...

Healthy Trail

Icy Shore

Can't wait till I can post nice warm-themed photos. Anyway, I guess I could be a little more creative and shoot something besides the outdoor scenery - pretty as it is, it is getting old. All my interests have kind of taken a backseat from feeling sorry for myself these days. But lately I can see the weather improving and I feel the worst of this winter is behind us. I hope I'm right.
Recently, my interest in paranormal investigating ("ghost hunting") returned with a vengeance. I can't say I didn't know it had faded, but I didn't realize just how much until it returned. There's just so much on my mind these days...
I definitely need a vacation very soon. lately it seems a lot of people I know are off to Florida...either there now or going soon. I wonder if I can stow away. lol.

Sparrow in the snow

Stopped at the canal by the railroad bridge this week for the first time in a long time. They had the area closed down for most or all of the summer to redo the parking lot. I can't wait to start going there again. This time was just a short visit because I didn't have much time, plus it was soooooo much colder near the water.

Brrrrr...oh well.

I don't care anymore. Let it snow let it snow let it snow...let me freeze. The good news though, is that when I finally get used to it, the weather will finally warm up and try to spoil me again. Keeping my fingers crossed, as the next snow is predicted for tomorrow.

Woods After a Snowstorm

Taken at ISO 400, with my 50mm f1.8 lens and post processed. I know, I have posted similar shots before. I keep trying to get it right. Each time I post it I think this is the one, but soon after, when I look at it, I feel it still isn't quite what I've been trying for. So obviously I think I've got it now, but in a few days I might feel differently.
This time I've got plenty of patches of sunshine which I think really livens it up. After working on the brightness, contrast, etc., I thought it was fine, but already there was something wrong. So before posting it now, I "warmed it up" (bad choice of words considering the subject?) and I think that was just what it needed.

Oliver Mill Park

My first OMP post of the year.

Snow!

From a previous snowstorm, not the more recent one. I knew we were going to get a lot of snow this winter and it's looking like I might be right...unfortunately.

Wayno

I am just SO handsome, it's unbelievable! This is a photo my friend Debbie took with my camera while on one of our walks. I was climbing over a fallen tree at the time.
Debbie is below, climbing over the fallen tree as well....oh ok, we were both posing on the fallen tree.

First Snow of the Season - Rico

Another Sign of Spring

A snow shovel full of rain water. Not necessarily a sign of spring but it is in this case. As long as it isn't full of snow, I'm happy.

The graffiti on the rock

This one shows the graffiti on the rock a little clearer, although some is covered by the snow, as well as more detail, rather than a silhouette.

 

Update:
A few years after this, (11/2015 I believe), Jason and I were invited by our chief and other chiefs (chieves?) in the area as well as other people from our tribe. The graffiti had been cleaned off by state workers and we followed up with a cleansing of the land. 

A few years after that, Profile Rock crumbled. :(

The snow on my truck's hood (pickin's are slim)

They all get birchy after a snowstorm.

Island of Death

Well no, it's not really an island, but it kind of resembles that to me at the moment.

Snowstorm

Actually this pic is a day late. The 10th was so hectic with the rain and snow, etc., that I never ended up taking a picture.
I liked the way the leaves added a slight splash of color in an otherwise "monochrome" world, and kind of added a softness to the otherwise sharp contrast.
