Snowy Trees

The last two storms produced heavy, wet snow that sits on the branches and freezes.

Not good for power lines or over burdened branches but very pretty on trees at the park.

Stay warm and cozy

Warning All Sailors

There's a red sky this morning

For The Birds

These shots were all taken within a few moments. A storm was rolling in, the skies were rapidly changing and the birds were in an uproar.

Yo Andrea !!

Weekend Reflections

Snow Saturday

At 4:30 this morning I was asleep on the sofa. Flashlight in hand. Cats at my feet.

At 4:45 a snow plow on the street behind us stopped and the flashing yellow lights made the cats go nuts. They were zooming up and down the hall and running to the windows.

I took some photos of the back yard through an open window. An icy mixture was blowing into the camera so apologies for crappy effects.

Then I took a few more shots from the carport at the side of the house. The footprints are my son's. He came home from work in the middle of the night.

Compared to CT, MA, RI and Long Island, NY we didn't get slammed with snow. I think there's about a foot of snow out there.

We never lost power, just some flickering. 

Stay warm and safe kids

All I Want Is A Place Somewhere

During the wind of Sandy and the cold of being without power I put lots of comforters and blankets out all over the house so that Siren and Isadora could have plenty of spots to be warm and feel secure.

Siren likes to show off his tail.

Weekend Reflections

Sun and Rain

A short shopping trip became a weather adventure

I'm singing in the rain

Just singing in the rain

What a glorious feelin'

I'm happy again

I'm laughing at clouds

So dark up above

The sun's in my heart

And I'm ready for love

Let the stormy clouds chase

Everyone from the place

Come on with the rain

I've a smile on my face

I walk down the lane

With a happy refrain

Just singin',

Singin' in the rain

 

Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces

Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun

Here comes the sun, and I say

It's all right

Light Up the Puddles

The heavy rain had stopped but the wind was stirring the puddles and playing with the street lights

The Captain's Tableau

Captain John has a spot on the waterfront that is always pretty, even on a gray rainy day right before Valentine's Day

Twisted Flags

What do you get when you go to the Jersey shore right before Hurricane Irene arrives?

Flags being punished by the wind.

I was trying to see how dark the distant clouds were by hanging out of my car window upside down. I saw the flags instead.

RUBY TUESDAY

MID WEEK BLUES

Sudden Summer Storm

I was on a 2 lane state route headed home one afternoon last week when the skies darkened and the clouds burst open.

It had been unbearably hot all day and I expected thunderstorms but this was epic. The dark was like midnight in the forest and the raindrops were huge, bordering on hail. I wanted to change lanes to get away from the blinding light of the truck behind (and too close) me but it was impossible to see.

At a red light I took advantage of the still moment to try and be artsy.

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS

Foggy and Murky

The sun was struggling to push through the clouds and the fog but then a huge dark cloud would roll by and there would be a ten minute downpour and then the cycle would begin again.

Between raindrops I captured these two shots.

Muddy Waters

After the heavy snows of winter and the downpours of spring the town created some ditches to re-direct the water back to the creek and lake ...
